How to Make Almond Butter Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract (or vanilla and almond extract combination).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the almond butter until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) before serving and enjoy!
