• 3 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Sliced almonds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.

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

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

Step 7

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, sift the powdered sugar over the top of the cake. Optionally, garnish with sliced almonds for added texture and flavor.

Step 10

Slice the cake, serve, and enjoy!
