Steps:
- TO MAKE THE CAKE LAYERS:
- Prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper circles in the bottom and grease the sides. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
- . Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
- . Add the butter, sugar, oil and almond extract to and large mixer bowl and beat together until light in color and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Do not skimp on the creaming time.
- . Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until mostly combined after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- . Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until mostly combined.
- . Slowly add the milk and mix until well combined. The batter will look curdled, but that's ok. 7.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated. Do not over mix the batter. 8.
- Divide the batter evenly between the cakes pans and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs. 9.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool for about 2-3 minutes, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely. TO MAKE THE CUSTARD:
- id="instruction-step-11″>10. While the cakes cool, make the custard. Put the egg yolks in a medium sized bowl and gently beat them together. Set aside. 11
- Add the sugar, cornstarch and milk to a large saucepan and mix until combined. 12
- Cook, stirring continuously, over medium-high heat until mixture begins to thicken and bubble. 13
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. 14
- Add a little bit of milk mixture to the egg yolks and whisk together, then add egg mixture to milk mixture. This process ensures that you don't cook the egg yolks too quickly and get scrambled eggs. 15.
- lace the pan back on the heat and bring to a light boil. Allow to boil for 2 minutes, stirring continuously. 16.
- emove from heat and add butter and almond extract. Stir until smooth, then set in the fridge to cool completely. TO BUILD THE CAKE:
- ="instruction-step-18″>17. When everything has cooled, make the frosting. Combine the butter and shortening in a large mixer bowl until smooth. 18.
- dd about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined. 19.
- dd the almond extract and 3-4 tablespoons of water or milk mix until well combined and smooth. 20.
- dd the remaining powdered sugar and mix until combined. 21.
- dd additional water or milk as needed to get the right consistency and mix until well combined and smooth. 22. To
- assemble the cake, use a large serrated knife to remove the domes from the top of the cakes. 23. Pl
- ce the first layer of cake on a serving plate or a cardboard cake round. Pipe a dam of frosting around the outside of the cake. I use Ateco tip 808 for the dam so that it's tall. 24. Spre
- d half of the custard evenly on top of the cake layer, inside the dam, then smooth out the dam of frosting so that it's all even. 25. Add th
- second layer of cake and repeat the dam and custard filling. 26. Add th
- final layer of cake on top, then smooth out the frosting around the sides of the cake. 27. Frost
- he outside of the cake (see my tutorial for frosting a smooth cake with buttercream). 28. Divide
- the remaining frosting evenly between three bowls. Color your frosting to your desired colors. 29. Use yo
- r offset spatula to create a "spackled" look. See the photos and description of how to do this in the written post above. 30. Use two si
- es of round piping tip (I used Ateco 808 and Ateco 804) to pipe the dots onto the top of the cake around the edges. 31. Refrigerat
- cake until ready to serve. Cake is best when eaten within 2-3 days.

ALMOND CUSTARD CAKE
This white cake pairs well with all sorts of frostings and fillings, but the chocolate frosting in this recipe is one of my favorites. Pressed for time? Add 1/2 tsp. of almond extract to a white cake mix instead. -Diane Shipley, Mentor, Ohio

ALMOND CUSTARD CAKE
Steps:
- Cut a 9-inch round of parchment paper to line the bottom of a 9 × 2-inch round cake pan. Butter and line the pan. Butter the lining, then flour the pan, tapping out excess; set aside.
- Make the dough: Whisk together 2 1/4 cups flour and the almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Put the butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add 3 egg yolks, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the wine, almond extract, and half the vanilla seeds; mix until combined, about 15 seconds. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions, mixing until just combined (do not overmix).
- Divide the dough in half, and flatten each piece into a disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
- Make the custard filling: Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Fit an electric mixer with the whisk attachment. Put 3 egg yolks and the remaining 6 tablespoons sugar in a clean mixing bowl; beat on medium speed until pale yellow and thickened. Add the remaining 5 tablespoons flour; beat on low speed until combined.
- Bring the milk, remaining vanilla seeds, and zest to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour 1/2 cup hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, and beat on medium-low speed until combined. Stir the mixture into the remaining milk in the saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to reach the bottom and sides of the pan. Cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Set the pan in the ice-water bath; stir occasionally until cool, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Press 1 piece of dough onto the bottom of the prepared pan and 1 1/2 inches up the sides. Spoon the custard on top, and spread into an even layer.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the remaining dough into an 11-inch circle. Drape over the pan; trim the edges flush with the pan. Gently press the edges of the top crust to meet the bottom crust; crimp the top edges with a fork to seal. Refrigerate the cake 30 minutes.
- Beat the remaining egg yolk and the cream in a small bowl. Brush the top of the cake with egg wash; sprinkle with almonds. Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Invert the cake to unmold; peel off the parchment, and reinvert. Just before serving, dust the cake with confectioners' sugar. Serve with the strawberry-rhubarb sauce.
- Strawberry-Rhubarb Sauce
- Bring the rhubarb, sugar, and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Stir in the strawberries and vanilla; cook until the berries are softened, about 3 minutes more. Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Butter two 20cm loose-bottomed round sandwich tins and line with baking parchment. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 4. Tip the butter and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer and beat for 10 mins, or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt and the milk. Spoon the batter into the prepared tins and bake in the centre of the oven for 22-25 mins, or until risen and firm to the touch. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Put the cherries, vanilla, sugar, lemon juice and kirsch or liqueur (if using) in a pan and bring to a simmer over a low heat. Cook for 5 mins, turn up the heat to medium and cook for 5-7 mins more until the liquid becomes syrupy. If the cherries are softened but the liquid isn't yet syrupy, strain the liquid into a separate pan and simmer until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Beat the cream and icing sugar together using an electric whisk until the cream has thickened, then fold in the custard and chill for 1 hr.
- Put one of the sponges on a cake plate or stand and spread over the custard cream. Spoon over the cherries, then top with the second sponge. Dust with more icing sugar and serve immediately. Leftovers will keep chilled for two days and are best served at room temperature.
