Chia Seeds Almond Butter Cake 黑奇异籽杏仁牛油蛋糕
I love butter cake that is rich and buttery and I’ve baked one before using the egg separation method. That cake was topped with almond flakes. And this time, I want my butter cake not only soft and fragrant but moist too. So I added almond meal and natural yoghurt into the batter and I was not disappointed at all. I even toasted the leftover cake, covered loosely with a piece of non-greased paper for 5-8 minutes, at 200 deg C for breakfast the next morning. (I’ve put the leftover cake inside the fridge due to hot weather). After toasting, the cake had a little crust on the surface but the texture still stayed moist and soft. So yummy that I couldn’t resist going for a second helping.

- 准备一个8寸圆烤盘,底部铺纸,旁边抹油。预热烤箱致180度。
- 将面粉,发粉和盐一起过筛到碗里,然后倒入杏仁粉混匀,备用。
- 用电动搅拌器以中速度将牛油和糖打发。
- 慢慢的倒入鸡蛋打致均匀,加入香精,拌匀。
- 用橡胶刮刀将粉类以3分次拌入蛋糊里,翻拌均匀即可。
- 加入酸奶拌匀,最后拌入黑奇异籽,拌均匀。
- 把面糊倒入烤盘,送入预热烤箱烤约40-45分钟或牙签插入蛋糕内部,拔出没有粘糊,就表示熟了。

i tried this recipe…simply awesome..thanks aloot…Ann Low sis….
Hi Ann, can I used sour cream instead of yoghurt/
Yes Irene. You can use sour cream too.
Salted or unsalted butter?
I always used salted butter.
Hi Ann – May I ask; can we simply just add chia seeds to your other almond butter cake recipe? I have tried yoghurt in my cakes before but the outcome was not good; too dense. So wondering if I can just add Chia seeds to the other recipe. Or will it turn out too dry? Thanks.
Hi, Most butter cakes are densed. Adding yogurt will makes the cake moist and not too dry. Sure you can add chia seeds to any bakes and will not makes the cake dry, just like adding poppy seeds or sesame seeds.
Great. Thanks for your advice Ann.
Looks great
Hi Anee
Can you advise me,I tried this almond butter cake but it have few cracks and with two different tone. It is ready soft until when I cut it easy to break into two. Overall the taste of the cake is nice. Tks
Hi Hui Kee, Possibly the mixture was not probably mixed. Due to oven temp varies, you may need longer time to bake the cake till cooked.
Hi Hui Kee, Sorry that I forgot to mention about the cracks. The cake is quite flat. The temp heat might be too high and forced to blow up the cake and has peaked in the middle and is cracked. Try to lower the temp a little and bake it for another 10 mins.
looks wonderful love your baking
