Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are frothy. Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and melted butter, then stir until well incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until combined, making sure there are no lumps.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and sprinkle evenly with sliced almonds.

Step 6

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and remove the parchment paper.

Step 8

Once the cake has cooled completely, transfer it to a serving platter. Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy the cake as it is or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit for added flavor.
