Prepare the Batter

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Bake the Cake
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  2. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of the batter.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
