Almond Bundt Cake with Glaze

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Almond Bundt Cake with Glaze.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a 10-inch Bundt pan a good greasing and dusting with flour to ensure your cake releases beautifully.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, then set this aside for later.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a delightful base for your cake.

4. Step 4

   Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition.

5. Step 5

   Stir in the fragrant vanilla and almond extracts, letting those lovely aromas fill your kitchen.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to bring it all together! Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with milk, until everything is just combined—be careful not to overmix, as we want a tender cake.

7. Step 7

   Pour the luscious batter into your prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake.

8. Step 8

   Slide the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your cake is ready.

9. Step 9

   Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before gently inverting it onto a wire rack to cool for another 10 minutes.

10. Step 10

    While your cake cools, whip up a simple glaze by mixing together milk, sugar, almond extract, and ground almonds in a bowl.

11. Step 11

    Place the wire rack with the cake over a sheet of waxed paper, and pour the warm glaze over the cake, letting it drizzle down the sides for a beautiful finish.

    Enjoy the delightful aroma and the anticipation of tasting your delicious creation!.
