Required Kitchen Tools
When baking this Costco Almond Cake at home, having the right tools makes the process smooth and stress-free. Here’s what I recommend:
- Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer – To cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, which is key for the cake’s airy texture.
- Mixing Bowls – One for dry ingredients, another for wet ingredients.
- Measuring Cups & Spoons – Accuracy matters in baking, so measure carefully.
- Spatula or Wooden Spoon – To fold in almonds gently without overmixing.
- 9-inch Round Cake Pan or Bundt Pan – Greased and floured to prevent sticking.
- Wire Cooling Rack – To let the cake cool evenly and avoid a soggy bottom.
- Toothpick or Cake Tester – For checking doneness in the center.
Having these tools ready will help you bake like a pro!
