Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the almond flour gently until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
