  • 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup (60g) sliced almonds

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Cake Pan:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Make the Cake Batter:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and almond extract until well combined.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
    • Fold in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the cake batter.
  3. Bake the Cake:
    • Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
    • Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
    • Remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack.

Notes:

  • For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a tablespoon of almond liqueur to the cake batter.
  • This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
