If you’re on the fence, try adding the usual vanilla with a half measure of almond. Almond extract pairs well with everything sweet (and probably some savory, but I haven’t tried that out yet). I’ve never regretted adding it to a recipe, I’ve only been frustrated that I didn’t add a touch more.

I let my cakes cool jussst until I can pick up the pan. The cakes are still warm and I wrap them until I need them. â

FAQ
Can I use vanilla and almond extract together?
However, use just half or just a bit more than half of the almond extract because it imparts a much stronger flavor than vanilla does. My “Grandma’s secret baking trick” is to use both in cakes and brownies. Typically a teaspoon of vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon almond. Subtle but oh so good!
Does almond go well with vanilla?
For those who bake, Pure Almond Extract’s use in a wide range of recipes–from cookies to cakes to pies to pastries–and its ability to complement vanilla, chocolate, maple or butterscotch has made it a kitchen necessity.
What is the ratio of almond extract to vanilla extract?
After vanilla, one of the most common extracts people use in baking is almond extract. You can replace vanilla extract with almond extract at a 1:1 ratio. That means, replace every 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of vanilla extract in the recipe with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of almond extract.
Does vanilla and almond extract taste the same?
Almond extract is significantly more potent than vanilla, but it will provide a similar flavor profile if you use it sparingly. You’ll only need to use half the amount of almond extract, and you might be surprised at how much you like its nutty flavor in your favorite vanilla recipes.
