Ingredients

200 g Almond Flour
175 g Granulated Sugar
100 g Unsalted Butter, Melted
4 Large Eggs
1 tsp Almond Extract
35 g Slivered Almonds (for topping)

Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons or kitchen scale
Wire cooling rack
8-inch or 9-inch round cake pan
Spatula

Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare an 8 or 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until pale and frothy.
Gently fold in the almond flour, then stream in the melted butter and almond extract, mixing until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and tap the pan to level the batter.
Scatter the slivered almonds on top and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before removing and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the batter. It adds a delicious nuttiness.

This cake can be made ahead of time and will taste even better the next day as the flavors meld.

Store the cooled cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months for longer storage.

Feel free to customize with citrus zest, berries, or spices for added flavor variations!
