01 - 1/4 cup sliced almonds
02 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (6 ounces)
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
05 - 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
08 - 2/3 cup half and half cream
09 - 1/2 cup salted butter, melted

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Spray a 4.75 x 12.25 inch Rehrucken pan generously with nonstick baking spray. Evenly distribute sliced almonds over the bottom of the pan.
02 - Set oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and allow to fully preheat.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, almond extract, and half and half cream until smooth.
05 - Add the prepared dry ingredients to the wet mixture and whisk until no visible flour remains.
06 - Pour in cooled melted butter and whisk until the batter becomes fully smooth and homogenous.
07 - Transfer batter to the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 40 to 50 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and the center is set.
08 - Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully invert onto a wire rack and release from the pan.
09 - Serve the almond cake warm or at room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
