How to Make Almond Butter Cake With Crunchy Almond Topping

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup almond butter.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. For the topping: Combine ½ cup sliced almonds, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
