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.
