Ingredients

1 cup butter (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup sour cream

7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
