# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on the oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch round or springform pan with cooking spray, so nothing sticks later.

In a medium bowl, mix salt, baking powder, and almond flour thoroughly until everything's combined.
04 -
Whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, oil, and extracts (vanilla and almond) in a large bowl until smooth.

Pour the dry stuff into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix it up till you don't see any lumps.
06 -
Pour the batter into your greased pan. Evenly sprinkle the cooled toasted almonds over the top.

Bake for 20-25 minutes. It's ready when the top looks golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let it rest in the pan for a bit to cool. Sprinkle some extra almonds and powdered sugar on top before enjoying, if you'd like.
