Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup almond slices optional for topping
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts for that fragrant almond flavor.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. For an extra crunch, sprinkle almond slices on top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness and elegance.
  • Enjoy your Almond Nut Cake with a cup of tea or coffee, and savor every bite of this nutty, soft delight!
