Ingredients

Scale

1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs
1 tsp pure almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Gradually add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In another bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly combine dry ingredients with the wet mixture, adding almond and vanilla extracts until just incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown; a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
Allow the cake to cool before dusting with powdered sugar.
