How to Make Almond Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the almond slivers.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 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.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
