Equipment

  • 8-inch Loaf Pan

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter room temperature
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract
  • ½ cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1½ cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Blanched Almond Slices and more for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350F. Lightly grease an 8-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Combine in large bowl, the room temperature butter and granulated sugar. Use a hand blender to cream the two together until light and fluffy.
    ½ cup Unsalted Butter, 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • Crack in the eggs, one at a time into the batter, and mix until smooth after each one. Add the yogurt and almond extract and mix until smooth.
    3 large Eggs, 1 teaspoon Almond Extract, ½ cup Greek Yogurt
  • Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt, directly over the wet ingredients.
    1½ cup All Purpose Flour, ½ teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • Add the sliced almonds over the dry ingredients and fold everything together until just combined, making sure not to over mix.
    ½ cup Blanched Almond Slices
  • Place the batter into the prepared 8-inch loaf pan. Use the back of a rubber spatula to smooth out the top.
  • Use an lightly oiled paring knife to make a ½" deep score down the middle of the loaf lengthwise. Sprinkle some extra almond slices on top.
  • Bake the Almond Pound Cake in the preheat 350F oven for 40-45 minutes. Notice that the leaf is ready, when nice and golden, and when a toothpick inserted in the centre of it comes out clean. Let the loaf cool to room temperature and remove from the mold before slicing.
