- Preheat the oven at 170ÂșC conventional oven and prepare a 20x20 cm baking pan with parchment paper.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, using the paddle attachment, add the butter and granulated sugar and mix it on high speed for 3 min.
- Add the eggs one at a time into the mixture and mix it in until combined.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue by adding the flour mixture, continuing on low speed, mixing until just combined.
- Finally add the sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla and almond extract and mix until just combined, make sure not to over mix the cake batter.
- Using a rubber spatula, give the batter a gentle fold to make sure all of the ingredients have combined.
- Pour the cake into the prepared pan and bake for 28-30 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool on a cooling rack. After 10 minutes, gently remove the cake from the cake tin and let the cake cool down completely.

- Mix the butter in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or with a hand mixer for 4 minutes on medium/high speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the freeze-dried raspberry powder and powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk in 2 parts. Whipping until each addition is fully incorporated.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and give the buttercream a final mix for 2 minutes. Then add the buttercream to the cooled down cake.
