1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with sliced almonds before serving.
