Orange Almond Cake

Beat the butter with sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition until the batter is creamy and cohesive.

Add the orange juice and orange zest and mix thoroughly until combined.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding with a wooden spoon or spatula until fully combined without overmixing.

Pour the batter into a cake pan greased with butter and dusted with flour or lined with parchment paper.

Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly on top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

For decoration, sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving.
