swedish almond cake

A copycat recipe for Ikea&#039;s Swedish Almondy cake -- gluten-free almond cake layered with a rich and sweet golden cream, covered with toasted almonds.

Almondy Cake (Ikea Copycat)

tsp cream of tartar (or lemon juice)

almond flour

sugar

g sugar

tsp sea salt

dry milk powder

tsp vanilla extract

ml heavy whipping cream

salted butter

almond flakes

Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.

Prepare 2 round 6&quot; pans with parchment paper.

Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. (Transfer the egg yolks to a separate bowl and set aside).

Place the egg whites into a stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment.

Start the mixer and when the egg whites become foamy, add in the cream of tartar.

Gradually add in the sugar and whip until stiff and shiny peaks.

Dump the almond flour into the meringue and fold with a spatula until the almond flour is incorporated.

Divide the mixture evenly into two round 6" pans lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 350°F/177°C for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden in colour.

Remove from the oven and let cakes cool on a rack.

Make the almond cake:

Similar to making a custard, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, salt, milk powder and vanilla extract into a glass bowl.

Warm heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat.

While whisking the egg yolk mixture, pour the warm cream into the egg yolks and transfer back into the saucepan.

Continue to whisk over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in 1 Tbsp of butter.

Completely chill the cream mixture in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours.

Pour the chilled cream and whip with a wire whisk (in a stand mixer) until lightens up a little. (Don&#039;t worry if the mixture doesn&#039;t completely whip up, we&#039;re just looking for it to be a little lighter).

Make the golden cream:

Slice the almond cake in half.

Spread about 1/4 C of whipped golden cream over the cake with an offset spatula.

Place another layer of cake on top of the cream.

Spread another layer of golden cream and cover the edges of the cake with the cream.

Coat the top and sides of the cake with toasted almond flakes.

Repeat with the second cake, unless making 1 x 4-layered 6&quot; cake.

Chill the cake in the freezer for at least 6-8 hours before serving.

Serve from frozen.

Assemble:

Swedish almond cake is an easy dessert or brunch that comes together quickly with just a few pantry staple ingredients. And it&#x27;s absoutley delicious!

Swedish Almond Cake

unsalted butter

eggs

almond extract

finely grated zest of 1/2 a lemon (optional*)

all-purpose flour

salt

almonds

sugar (for dusting)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray, line the bottom of the pan with parchment, then spray the parchment.  Set the pan aside.

Use a rubber spatula to stir the sugar and butter together in a large bowl. Mix in the eggs, almond extract, and lemon zest (if using) to combine.

Sift the flour and salt into the bowl, then mix until just incorporated. Spread into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

Cake

Sprinkle the sugar over the cake, then top with the almonds.

Bake 34 to 44 minutes, until the top is light golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Cool the cake on a wire rack, dust with powdered sugar, then serve.

Uneaten cake can be stored at room temperature, covered, for up to 2 days or in the freezer, tightly wrapped, for up to 2 months.
