You can elevate crescent rolls by adding creative fillings like brie and cranberry, pesto and mozzarella, or even cinnamon sugar for a dessert twist. Sprinkle sesame seeds or coarse salt on top before baking for added flavor and crunch. 🌟

Instructions

Prepping the Ingredients

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

2. Mixing the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and citrus zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk or buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped almonds or mixed nuts.

3. Baking the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
If the top starts browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.

4. Cooling and Serving

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey before serving.

Notes

Texture Tip: If you want a lighter texture, separate the egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the batter at the end.
Nut Variations: Swap almonds for walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts for a different flavor.
Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut oil instead of butter and almond milk instead of regular milk.
Gluten-Free Option: Replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
