Scale
- Nonstick baking spray
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 cups finely chopped fresh or thawed rhubarb, divided
- 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13×9 inch pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, salt, and baking soda.

Notes
- Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the cake light.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and texture.
- Frozen fruit should be well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
- Cool the cake fully before slicing to maintain its structure.
