Cake:<\/h4>\n<p>Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Generously grease the bottom and sides of two\u00a09-inch round cake pans; line with\u00a0parchment paper rounds\u00a0and set aside until needed.<\/p>\n<p>In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.<\/p>\n<p>In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.<\/p>\n<p>Gradually add in the sugar. Once all of the sugar has been added, beat on high speed for 2 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Reduce the speed to low and add in the egg whites, a little bit at a time, beating well after each addition, and scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.<\/p>\n<p>In a spouted measuring cup, combine the vanilla extract, almond extract, milk, and sour cream. Mix until evenly combined.<\/p>\n<p>On low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating it with the liquid milk\/sour creamy mixture, beginning and ending with the flour, and mixing until\u00a0<strong>just<\/strong>\u00a0combined.<\/p>\n<p>Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and smooth the tops.<\/p>\n<p>Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans places on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then invert the cake layers onto cooling racks and cool completely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-group\">\n<h4 class=\"wprm-recipe-group-name wprm-recipe-instruction-group-name wprm-block-text-bold\">For the White Chocolate Amaretto Buttercream Frosting:<\/h4>\n<p>In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter on medium-speed until completely smooth. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add in the confectioners&#8217; sugar, beating until all of the sugar is completely combined.<\/p>\n<p>Add in the salt, cream, and amaretto, and almond extract and beat smooth.<\/p>\n<p>Add in the white chocolate and beat smooth. Once all of the ingredients have been incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and beat for a minute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-group\">\n<h4 class=\"wprm-recipe-group-name wprm-recipe-instruction-group-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Assembly and Garnish:<\/h4>\n<p>Using a long,\u00a0serrated knife, slice each cake in half horizontally, so that you have 4 even layers.<\/p>\n<p>Place one cake layer on a large plate or cake stand. Spread 1\/2 cup of the frosting on top of the cake, covering it completely, then spread a 1\/4 cup of raspberry preserves on top of the frosting.<\/p>\n<p>Top with another cake layer, and repeat the layering process, ending with the last cake layer on top. Spread all remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.<\/p>\n<p>Using your hands, gently press the sliced almonds all around the sides of the cake. Then top with fresh raspberries!<\/p>\n<p>Allow the cake to set for 20 minutes before slicing. Then serve, or store, in the refrigerator, for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before serving!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-notes-container wprm-block-text-normal\">\n<h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-notes-header wprm-block-text-uppercase wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-line\">NOTES<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-notes\">If you want extra thick layers of frosting like mine, double the buttercream recipe!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Almond Raspberry Cake with White Chocolate Amaretto Buttercream Frosting is a total showstopper!
