Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare either a specialty almond cake pan or an 8-inch round cake pan with either cooking spray or butter well and coat with flour. Then, evenly distribute sliced almonds across the bottom of the prepared pan and set aside.
  2. To make the batter, start by combining melted butter, sugar, eggs, almond extract, almond flour, and almond milk in a mixing bowl with a whisk, and mix thoroughly. Using a mesh strainer, sift together the cake flour and baking powder over the “wet ingredients.”
  3. Carefully pour the cake batter over the sliced almonds in your prepped cake pan. Conversely, you can use a cookie scoop to gently drop the batter over the almonds. Smooth out the batter, so it’s even. Place the cake pan on a sheet pan (for easy transfer) in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and a tester placed in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  4. Cool the cake completely before removing it from the pan. *To prevent any cracking/breaking, you make want to cut the “hump” from the cake*
  5. To serve, dust the cake with Powdered Sugar and garnish with additional sliced almonds (serve slices with berries and whipped cream).
