Ingredients
-
2 large eggs
-
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 ½ cups white sugar
-
1 cup butter, softened
-
1 tablespoon almond extract
-
2 tablespoons thinly sliced almonds (Optional)
Directions
-
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.
