How to Make Almond Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in the almond slivers.
7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the sides of the springform pan and letting it cool completely on a wire rack.
9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
