Instructions

  6. Stir in the almond extract and vanilla extract gently.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Optional: Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, serve the cake with fresh berries and whipped cream or a drizzle of honey almond syrup.
