Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375℉ and grease an 8-inch cake pan lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream unsalted butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add vanilla and almond extracts followed by whisked eggs, mixing until incorporated.
Gradually incorporate dry ingredients until nearly combined; then fold in almond flour by hand.
Transfer batter to the prepared pan and sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
Bake for 28-35 minutes until edges pull away from the pan and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
While baking, prepare honey simple syrup by heating honey and water in a saucepan until combined.
Once baked, pour syrup over warm cake and let cool for 20 minutes before removing from the pan.
