Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for almond topping)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Dissolve yeast in warm water until foamy.
  2. In a saucepan, melt milk, sugar, and butter until warm. Combine with flour mixture along with yeast, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to form dough.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled (about one hour).
  5. Prepare almond topping by melting butter in a saucepan and stirring in honey, cream, and almonds until smooth.
  6. Punch down dough and transfer to a greased baking pan; pour almond mixture over it. Bake at 350°F for about 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool slightly then whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar. Slice cake horizontally into two layers; spread whipped cream on one layer and top with the other.
  8. Chill for at least one hour before serving.
