Our smart almond butter cake is baked with whole wheat flour. Fresh from the oven, the airy cake tastes incredibly delicious.

Ingredients

  • 250 ml almond drink (almond milk) (or 3.5% fat milk)
  • 190 g butter
  • 150 g cane sugar
  • 21 g fresh yeast (1/2 cube)
  • 570 g whole wheat flour (plus 2 tbsp for kneading)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 150 g almond flakes
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Warm the almond drink together with 60 g of butter and 1 tbsp of sugar in a pot over low heat. Let it cool slightly and dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm liquid. Let the pre-ferment rise for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Knead the pre-ferment with flour, 55 g of sugar, eggs, and salt into a smooth dough and let it rise covered in a warm place for about 60 minutes.

  3. 3.

    Knead the dough again on a floured surface and roll it out to fit the size of the baking sheet. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the dough on it. Let it rise again for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4.

    Melt the remaining butter with the remaining sugar in a pot over low heat, then add almonds and cinnamon.

  5. 5.

    Make small indentations in the dough with a spoon handle. Spread the butter mixture over the dough so that the indentations fill with liquid. Bake the butter cake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C convection; Gas: Level 3) for about 15–20 minutes.
