Method
Almond cake
Preheat oven to 355 F. Grease the sides of two 8-inch pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
Whish together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
In a measuring jar, whisk together the milk, orange juice, zest, ground flaxseed, oil, vanilla extract and sugar. Then pour it into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Divide the batter into the prepared pans and bake for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes in the pan, then remove onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Raspberry Filling
Add the raspberries, sugar and lemon juice to a saucepan. Bring it to a simmer and cook over medium heat until the raspberries are soft.
Allow to cool completely in the refrigerator while it thickens even more.
Cream Frosting
In a bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In an another bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar until creamy. Then add the whipped cream and mix briefly until combined.
Assembling the cake
Cut each cake horizontally in two equal layers. Place one cake layer on a plate. Spread about 1/4 of the cream frosting over the cake. Then spread 1/3 of the raspberry filling over it.
Top with the next cake layer, spread over another 1/4 of the cream frosting, followed by another 1/3 of raspberry filling and repeat this process for the third layer, Then place the fourth layer on top and spread the remaining cream frosting all over the cake.
Finally, sprinkle the cake with almond flakes. Chill at least for 2 hours before decorating and serving.
Enjoy!
