Almond Butter Cake

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup sliced almonds

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, and 0.5 tsp salt.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, beat the 0.5 cup softened butter and 0.75 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the 2 eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in the 0.5 cup milk until combined.

5. 5

   Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the 0.5 cup sliced almonds evenly over the top. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes.

7. 7

   Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
