Buttery Almond Pound Cake with Slivered Almonds & Citrus Glaze
Discover a sophisticated blend of nutty warmth and bright citrus from Alexandra’s Bakery & Gourmet Specialties. Our Glazed Almond Pound Cake is a masterclass in texture, featuring a tender, velvet-like crumb loaded with premium toasted almonds for a satisfying crunch in every bite.
What makes our Almond Pound Cake a gourmet standout:
- Triple-Almond Infusion: We fold generous amounts of toasted almonds into and on top of the batter, ensuring a deep, toasted nutty flavor that permeates the entire buttery loaf.
- Signature Vanilla-Citrus Glaze: Each cake is finished with a delicate drizzle of our handcrafted glaze, made with a bright citrus zest and our exclusive house-aged vanilla (a blend of Tahitian and Madagascar beans).
- Old-Fashioned Velvet Crumb: Meticulously creamed in small batches, our cake achieves that elusive "old-fashioned" density while remaining incredibly light and moist.
- Small-Batch Craftsmanship: Every loaf is baked to order, ensuring the oils from the almonds and the brightness of the citrus are at their peak freshness.
Serving Suggestions: Elevate your dessert by adding a dollop of fresh whipped cream and sliced peaches for a classic summer pairing. It is equally divine served alongside a nutty Amaretto coffee or a light herbal tea.
Ingredients: Sugar, cornstarch, butter, flour, eggs, milk, almonds, almond extract, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
