How to Make Almond Butter Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and ½ cup sliced almonds.
- Sprinkle the almond mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
