How to make caramelized almond vanilla cake
Preheat the oven at 180-degree celsius. Simultaneously, line the cake pan with parchment paper. Once done, mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl and keep them aside.
In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients until the consistency is pale and fluffy. Then, add one egg at a time and whisk nicely. Add the milk, too.
Now it is time to mix the two. Add in the dry ingredients (into the wet one) and fold the mixture using a spatula. Transfer to the cake tin and bake for 30-35 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the star ingredients of the cake — caramel. Take a heavy bottom saucepan and set it on medium heat. To it, add granulated sugar and water. To make sure that the cooking is even, tilt the pan from side to side. Do not stir the mixture.
Cook it slowly until it turns nice golden brown.
Turn off the heat and add warm cream. You will notice that there is a sizzling sound, and the mixture is bubbling.
Mix using a wooden spoon only. Now add the butter and cook for a minute until it is nicely blended.
Finally, add the flaked almonds and mix them so that they are coated properly. Then spread a layer of caramel on top of the cake. Then, pop it into the oven for another 10 minutes at 180 degrees celsius.
To make the custard filling:
- Fold the custard into whipping cream.
- Cut the cake into two layers and spread the filling.
- Slice it into little bites and enjoy!
