Ingredients

• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 120 milliliters milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 100 grams sliced almonds
• 50 milliliters heavy cream
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 50 grams unsalted butter (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake is baking, prepare the Tosca topping. In a small saucepan, combine the sliced almonds, heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbly and slightly thickened (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 8

Once the cake has baked for 20-25 minutes, remove it from the oven and spread the almond topping evenly over the surface of the cake.

Step 9

Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve the Tosca Coffee Cake with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
