Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake 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, combine the almond flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
