How to Make Almond Dream Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan or a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup sour cream.
  7. Prepare the almond filling: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup sliced almonds, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  9. Evenly sprinkle the almond filling over the batter.
  10. Pour the remaining batter over the filling.
  11. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon almond extract until smooth. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  14. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
  15. Garnish with additional sliced almonds.
