Lucky New Year Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup milk, lukewarm
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, or as needed
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
To ensure the cake releases easily, generously coat a round 10-inch cake pan with butter or cooking spray.
3
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened butter and 2 cups of granulated sugar until you achieve a light and fluffy texture.
4
Next, add the flour to the mixture and stir until it reaches a mealy consistency.
5
Meanwhile, crack in one egg at a time and mix well after each addition to prevent lumps from forming.
6
In another bowl, whisk together the baking powder and milk until smooth.
7
Then, add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until well combined.
8
Mix the baking soda with lemon juice in a separate bowl, creating a smooth paste.
9
Add this paste to the batter and stir until fully incorporated.
10
Pour the prepared batter into the greased cake pan.
11
Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
12
After removing the cake from the oven, create a small hole in the middle of the cake.
13
Place a quarter inside the hole and cover it with powdered sugar to create a visually appealing effect.
14
Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
15
Invert the cake onto a serving dish and sprinkle with powdered sugar to complete the presentation.
16
Finally, serve the warm cake immediately.
