Servings: 12
Equipment
- 8-inch springform pan
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 1 cup AP flour
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup whole milk, or half and half.
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp almond extract
Topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter and dust your springform pan with almond flour.
- In a small bowl whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined.
- Whisk in the olive oil, milk, and extracts.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until well combined and there is no dry flour left. Don't over beat the batter.
- Turn the batter into your prepared pan. Scatter the sliced almonds evenly over the top. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top bounces back when lightly touched. Try not to over bake, if your oven runs hot, check it early.
- Let the cake cool on a rack for 5-10 minutes, then run a blunt knife around the edges to loosen, and remove the sides.
- Dust the cake with powdered sugar. If you want to remove the cake from the bottom of the pan use a cake lifter to shift it to a serving plate or cake stand.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream, if you like. Store leftovers covered in plastic or foil on the counter or under a cake dome.
