Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • electric mixer
  • Cooling Rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream full-fat, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ teaspoon almond extract

Topping

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed light or dark
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries do not thaw
  • ¾ cup sliced almonds
  • confectioners’ sugar optional for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Beat on medium-high speed until combined. The mixture may look curdled; that’s ok. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, mix in the dry ingredients until smooth. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick. Spread into prepared pan. Set aside.
  • With a fork, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together for the crumb topping. Stir in the melted butter until crumbs form.
  • Dot raspberries all over the top of the cake batter. Sprinkle the crumbs and sliced almonds on top.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to slightly cool for a few minutes before slicing. I suggest serving with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar!
  • Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Make ahead instructions: Freeze baked and cooled cake for up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature and dust with confectioners’ sugar, if desired, before serving. Special tools: 9-inch Springform Pan, Electric Mixer (Handheld or Stand), Cooling Rack, Fine Mesh Sieve. Sour cream is a key ingredient in this cake; do not substitute with lower fat options for best results.
