16 servings

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced almonds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
  • Whisk eggs in a small bowl; reserve about 1 tablespoon for brushing over dough. Whisk flour and baking powder together in another bowl.
  • Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in beaten eggs, then stir in almond extract. Stir in flour mixture by hand using a sturdy spoon; dough will be stiff.
  • Press 1/2 of the dough into each prepared pan. Press almond slices into dough, then brush reserved egg over top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool, then cut into wedges to serve.
