Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions. Start and finish with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in 1 cup of the mixed berries, being careful not to crush the fruit too much.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Scatter the remaining 0.5 cup of berries evenly over the surface of the batter.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of the cake for a delicious crunch and added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 38-42 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top of the cake should be golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional). Slice and enjoy your Mixed Berry Almond Cake!
