Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch (25cm) Bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the sliced almonds.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract until smooth.
  11. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  12. Sprinkle with additional sliced almonds for garnish if desired.
  13. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
