Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ c flour 300 g
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • c extra virgin pure olive oil
  • 1 ¼ c milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ½ c sugar
  • 3 teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ sliced almonds ¼ c reserved for bottom of cake
  • c powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk the olive oil, milk, eggs, sugar and almond extract. Combine the wet ingredients with dry and whisk until smooth. In a 12 inch round baking pan, line with parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil. Layer the bottom of the pan with ¼ c of the sliced almonds, making an even layer on the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the cake mixture to the pan and bake for 60-65 minutes until golden brown. To know when the cake is done, it should come out clean with a toothpick and the center should not jiggle.
  • Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes in the pan and then transfer to cool on a cooling rack for another 20-30 minutes. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and more sliced almonds, enjoy!
