  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
