Directions

Prepare almond cream layer

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine all ingredients for the almond cream layer and mix until smooth. Set aside.

Prepare streusel topping

  1. 1

    In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, gluten-free flour (or all-purpose flour), room temperature butter, and brown sugar. Use a fork to create crumbles. Set aside.

Preheat the oven

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9" round springform pan with 3" sides with nonstick baking spray. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any potential leaks.

Mix the cake batter

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until smooth. Mix in the eggs, sour cream, and almond extract. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well incorporated.

Assemble the cake

  1. 1

    Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread the almond cream layer on top. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the almond cream. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the chocolate chips. Add the remaining cake batter on top and finish with the remaining streusel topping.

Bake the cake

  1. 1

    Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and serve

  1. 1

    Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar.
