  1. 1 Place dragon fruit flesh in a blender or food processor and purée. Transfer purée to a bowl and set aside.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans.
  3. 3 Sift cake flour, all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  4. 4 Cream 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 cup butter together in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time; beat until yolks disappear.
  5. 5 Combine milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract together in a cup and set aside.
  6. 6 Add 1/2 flour mixture to creamed butter mixture, beating until just combined. Add 1/2 milk mixture. Add remaining flour mixture and beat until just combined. Add remaining milk mixture and stir until mixed thoroughly. Add 1/2 cup dragon fruit purée and very lightly swirl into cake batter.
  7. 7 Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center of a cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes.

  10. 10 While cakes are cooling completely, beat cream cheese and butter together in a bowl until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar slowly and beat 3 minutes more. Add vanilla and 2 tablespoons dragon fruit purée, beating until combined and purée is completely incorporated.
  11. 11 Place one cake layer top-side up on a serving plate; place strips of waxed paper under edges of cake to keep the plate clean. Spread approximately 1/2 vanilla buttercream frosting on top. Top with second layer, bottom-side up and lightly frost top and sides with remaining vanilla buttercream frosting.
  12. 12 Apply dragon fruit cream cheese icing to top and sides of cake, leaving some of vanilla buttercream frosting showing through.
