Tarta de Santiago from Milk Street (Christopher Kimball‼️ Easy, stir-together, one bowl cake! And COMPLETELY gluten free 😃

I love when the people behind the camera asks questions... feels more natural and like I'm also there in the room learning.

Which is exactly why KZreadrs started doing it. Also why they started adding gag-reels at the end of videos - makes them seem more human and relatable, even though sometimes they are staged intentionally. Just what you have to do if you want to compete on KZread.

I’m a 56 year old dad of two daughters who introduced me to Claire. I’ve never baked a cake in my life. It turned out perfectly! It’s literally the best cake I’ve ever had and I can’t believe I made it. Our guests were blown away.

I've been baking for over 40 years and this is one of my favorite cake recipes ever! I absolutely love almond and the texture of this cake is sublime. I've made it for myself several times, my sister, my mother, everyone loves it and it's now in the "permanent file" in all of our recipe collections! Also, for anyone who doesn't have access to almond paste locally (I live in a small rural town at the moment and Kroger doesn't carry it) it's quite easy to make. I ordered almond flour online and whipped up my own in no time flat. Also, I make a compote out of grilled peaches and it is so delicious with this cake!

I wanted to ask if this cake tastes like marzipan? I love almonds but really don’t like that artificial taste. Thanks :)

Almond paste can also be grated on the large holes of a box grater. this helps it blend into sugar more easily. I bought you book, Claire, and can't wait to try this recipe---and all the others!

Claire daydreaming just made my morning. I love nuts but I’m allergic boo. Still watching Claire create is almost as delicious as actually eating it.

Hi! Maybe you can try finding persipan paste? It's made from apricot and peach pits and often used as a cheaper/allergy-friendly substitute in professional baking. As for the crunchy topping: are there any seeds you can eat? I imagine that sunflower or sesame seeds would work well! 😊

I made this today (with the addition zest from 1 orange rubbed into the sugar). Couldn't have been easier and freaked people out at a July 4th dinner. This is the best almond ... *anything* ... I've ever eaten, and is probably in the top 2 best cakes. And that's 75 years' worth of eating. Thank you, Claire, you genius! You just keep hitting the bullseye!

I love the little smiley faces in these videos. thank you to the animation team for these sweet, friendly touches.

Paired this cake with some homemade cherry amaretto ice cream and it was so good! Highly recommend.

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I love almond and can’t wait to make this TONIGHT!!!

It’s so hard to find a delicious almond cake where I live. But I remember a spot that specialized in gluten-free almond cake and it was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. For now, watching the wonderful Claire work her magic will do 🤘🏻

I'm an almond lover, and this IS my dream.

OMG ,Claire. Made this today and it’s to die for💕💕💕💕💕

Omg this is the best thing I’ve ever taken out of my oven! Thank you so much Claire!!!!!!!!!

You always make everything so beautiful and amazing and gorgeous desserts and magical ❤

looks SO GOOD! i’m an almond lover- making this this weekend!!!

This looks delicious!

I absolutely love the cardamom almond cake from the Chez Panisse cookbook and this looks even better. I already think this is going to be my go-to cake recipe. Making tonight for the weekend!

Thanks Claire, just made this cake for our family 4th dinner. Smells great, can't wait to taste it tomorrow.

I love almond flavoured desserts, I’ve never tried almond paste before and especially in a cake. I want to try this one out, thank,you Claire.

It reminds me of a very traditional almond cake I ate in Andalusia a couple of years ago ❤

I made this cake about two weeks ago and my family just loved it! They asked if there was suppose to be frosting on the cake but the crispy, textural, and sweet topping of the cake was enough to satify the sweet tooth. I did not have almond paste so I made my own from a recipe on google and it worked out pretty well. Super easy and a great dessert. Thanks Claire!!

Also how almond flavor is similar to maraschino cherries 🍒 so good!

This is right up my alley! Thank you for this!

I made this with several substitutions but it still came out utterly delicious! Used Gluten-free flour blend (almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca and arrowroot starch), homemade almond paste, rum in place of amaretto, and reduced the sugar in the cake to 2/3. It's like a giant crunchy almond florentine topped with a giant almond frangipane cake! A generous sprinkle of flaky salt over the crunchy almonds is highly recommended. The only issue was the cake domed quite a fair bit so had to slice off to level it, but makes for a sneaky bakers snack ;)

thank you so much Claire! I made this cake and it was delightful

I made this this past week; it was absolutely amazing and I will definitely be making this regularly!

I made an almond cake from NYT for my wedding (elopement)....I mean I added toasted almonds and sugar like this on TOP, but this is ELEVATED. I'm happy to see this. I want to try this recipe soon.

It looks really good. It also looks like it might be good with winter squash. Like to add onto this concept, butternut cake+the almond topping. Or maybe even go in and do the almond cake, but some sort of cherries along side it.

Love your channel. I don't have access to a kitchen so I am living vicariously through you. I am so happy Novympia introduced me to you.

I made this cake for my mom’s birthday and we all loved it. I used homemade almond paste (King Arthur Baking’s recipe), subbed turbinado sugar for the Demerara as that’s what I had on hand, and Country Crock plant-based butter. I will definitely make it again!

I swear I've had an almond topped cake before but no one remembers any of my relatives making it. Your cake looks really, really good. The editor's kitty looks just like my kitty. She's a tiny, spicy one.

OMG! Absolutely beautiful and delicious cake Claire ❤

Could you please do a whole episode in your cartoon art! I love it. It’s just so satisfying to watch!

Intermingling and shingling ~*

Around Thanksgiving time, grocery stores have cranberry relish. I typically get a cranberry orange relish and reduce it on the stovetop with date sugar and balsamic vinegar. I like to serve it somewhat hot, on top of a warm slice of pound cake bread pudding in a pasta bowl that's first layered with some cold cream. That way, the temperature range goes from cold to warm to hot. I think that this amazing cake could also be presented with layered temperatures, with the relish reduction or your roasted plums (or apricots!) as the hot topping. I wonder if semolina could be used in this cake? When you think of what it does to a pizza crust ... I'd also steal a roasted apricot topping flavored with honey and green cardamom from the FALASTIN cookbook. But I'd maybe use burnt honey.

never heard of this! looks nice, love nuts

Looks delicious! I wonder if individual cakes could be made in a muffin tin?

I’ve made this cake twice now to rave reviews!! The flavour can’t be beat. I did make a couple changes: I add some turbinado sugar on the top layer for added crunch, and I found that toasting the almonds in the microwave as opposed to the oven leads to less burnt almonds 😂

Thank you for telling us how to substitute the amaretto. Some people can't have alcohol in their baked goods, including children who can't go buy any and recovering alcoholics.

I looove almond I will be making this as soon as I can. Also, Claire I live in high altitude in Colorado, is it possible for you to bake specifically something that’s is fool proof for high altitude? I have issues baking up here! 😅 ❤

Thank you…..❤

Claire, this cake is a masterpiece. Can you grate the almond paste to help it mix?

Loved the discussion about scissors at 5:27 😂

Knew this would be a tasty dessert.

that egg edit was the best thing i’ve ever seen

You can make your own, it's pretty easy. 200g almond flour, 180 g powdered sugar blended in a food processor. Add 2 tsp Almond Extract and 1 egg white. Wrap into a log and let sit overnight in the fridge before using.

This looks incredible! If I were to make a gluten free version, would you still recommend against using almond flour? Would I be better off using AP GF flour?

What substitute would you use in that recipe for the eggs?

Is there a way to substitute almond paste?

It’s like you read my mind, I was just thinking of making an almond cake

I really wanna try these desserts but we have no oven 😬

i just tried this and am surprised by how soft that cake is where I live there are no almond paste rolls. only what is called almond butter, which is grinded almonds. but that’s more liquid, not a paste so i substituted the paste and the sugar with marzipan and mixed some almond butter in too, just for fun. you can crate the marzipan if it‘s not soft enough turned out yummy thank you

As an Almond lover - this is gold! A small request - but could you also suggest what alternatives could be used for eggs. As a Vegetarian sometimes it limits options for good working substitutes.

I usually use a 1:3 ratio of ground flax seed and water per egg when I substitute out eggs (just let it sit for a couple of minutes after mixing them together), but I’ve heard that the liquid from a chickpea can is good too! I’m not sure of the ratio for that one though, you might have to look it up :)

Many liqueurs would probably work (except maybe coffee liqueur). Amaretto, Frangelico, Maraschino, Curaçao. Even spirits would probably work like Rum or Bourbon.

My husband and I can't eat sugar (he's pre-hypoglycemic and I'm pre-diabetic). He can eat complex carbs as long as it's paired with sufficient protein. I have to limit my carbs overall. I've loved baking since I was a child. Your recipes are wonderful! I can't eat them as is because of the volume of sugar and carbs. I've been trying to modify your recipes by using sucralose and replacing some of the flour with superfine, blanched almond flour, with limited success. Sucralose mimics sugar to some degree but lacks the volume and water retention of real sugar. I'm also supposed to limit my cholesterol and saturated fat intake. I avoid using too much coconut oil because it's higher in saturated fat than butter. Oil can't replace butter in many cases. Your oil based apple cake was much easier to modify since only the sugar needed replacing. I tried replacing the flour with almond flour, but it came out too dry. It's been fun trying to develop sugar-free desserts based on your recipes, but the results have been a little disappointing. I lack a formal education in culinary skills and have to rely on cookbooks, test kitchen shows, and personal experience. This recipe looks delicious, and I'd like to try modifying it. It probably won't come out with the right crunchiness since sucralose can't give the texture of the large sugar crystals. I'm not sure how to replace the almond paste, so this recipe will be a real challenge.

Ever have the almond pretzel from auntie Anne’s?
