"This decadent and flavorful Italian almond cake is super easy to make and is bursting with almond flavor. The crumb is gooey, super moist and is to die for. Did I mention it is gluten-free (hooray!)?"

A Note from Feedfeed
Who doesn't love a single-layer cake?? Top it off with lots of toasted almonds, this makes an excellent dessert or pastry served for breakfast or brunch (think coffee cake!).

ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups almond flour,
- 1/2 teaspoons baking powder,
- 4 eggs,
- 1 cups castor sugar
- 1 teaspoons almond extract
- 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 1/2 cups almond slices
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to325 F. Take a 9-inch round cake pan and spray it using a baking spray. Place parchment paper in the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
Step 2
Take a bowl and combine almond flour, salt and baking powder.
Step 3
Take another large sized bowl and using an electric mixer beat the eggs and sugar for 4 -5 minutes until the eggs turn pale yellow in color and increase 2 – 3 fold in size.
Step 4
Keeping the electric-mixer on medium speed add the almond extract, melted butter and oil until fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick and glossy at this point.
Step 5
Fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Step 6
Pour in the batter into the greased pan. Tap the pan on the counter a few times so that there are no air pockets.
Step 7
Sprinkle over the almond slices on the cake batter.
Step 8
Bake the cake for 35– 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean without crumbs.
Step 9
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before putting it on the wire rack.
