Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Baking soda
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Almond extract
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Slivered almonds

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 bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and vegetable oil to the almond milk mixture. Whisk until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the slivered almonds evenly over the top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
