Cherimoya Almond Cake Recipes

ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with vegetable spray. An alternative is to butter and flour the cake pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, cake flour and baking powder and set aside.
• Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and almond paste on high speed until smooth, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low and slowly add confectioners' sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined and light and fluffy. Raise speed to high and add the vanilla extract, whole eggs and egg yolks, 1 at a time. Mix until well combined. Reduce speed to medium and add the sour cream and dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake in the lower third of the oven for 35 minutes, or until the cake is golden and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool. Remove from pan and dust with confectioners' sugar.

CHERIMOYA-ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
• Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat until well combined. Add almond flour and mix until smooth. Fold in cherimoya pulp and cinnamon. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Top cake with sliced almonds and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 more minutes.
• Cool cake on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen and invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely. Dust cooled cake with confectioners' sugar to serve.

MATCHA ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Combine the butter, cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the matcha, almond extract and vanilla. Gently stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon until it's just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the almonds evenly over the top, if desired. You can put as many or as few of the almonds as you like or none at all! I think it adds a wonderful crunch to the top of the cake.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 55 minutes.
• Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack. Meanwhile, quickly put together the glaze while the cake is still pretty hot.
• For the glaze: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and almond extract in a small bowl. Whisk in some water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is smooth and loose. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake with a spoon and brush the sides using a pastry brush. Cool until the glaze creates nice sugary crust on the outside.
• Enjoy!

ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter sides and bottoms of 2 8-inch cake or springform pans; line sides and bottoms with parchment paper. Butter paper. Place pans in freezer.
• Sift flour and salt into a small bowl. Set aside. In a mixer fitted with a paddle, beat butter and granulated sugar at high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add almond paste, a little at a time at medium speed, and beat 8 minutes. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time, and almond extract. Mix sour cream and baking soda and add to butter mixture. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add flour mixture, just until blended.
• Divide batter between prepared pans and spread evenly. Bake about 40 minutes to an hour, until tops are golden and spring back when lightly pressed and cakes shrink from sides of the pans. Cool in pans on wire rack. Remove sides of pans and remove paper. When ready to serve, sift confectioners' sugar on top and slice like pie.
