Ingredients

Cake Batter:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour or cake flour
• ½ cup Amoretti® Premium Blanched Almond Flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
• ¼ cup Vegetable oil
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 tsp Amoretti® Madagascar Bourbon W.S vanilla extract (2x) 
• ½ tsp Amoretti® Almond extract Water Soluble
• ⅔ cup buttermilk

• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon sugar
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
• Almond slivers for garnish

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the butter, sugar and oil until light, fluffy and creamy!
• Crack in the egg and mix well. 
• Add in the Vanilla Extract and the Almond Extract. Mix to combine.
• In a small bowl, mix together the dry ingredients including the flours, baking powder and salt.
• Into the butter mix, alternate the dry ingredients and buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Set aside the cake batter.
• For the crumble topping, in a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon sugar. Drop in the butter and mash it in with the dry mix until you have a very crumbly looking mix.
• In an 8 x 8 glass tray or cake pan, spray with non-stick spray or grease with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper. 
• Drop the prepped cake batter into the tray and top with the crumble topping. Garnish with slivers of almonds.
• Bake at 350 F or 180 C for 35-40 minutes. While baking, if you feel that the top is getting too browned, slip in a sheet of foil to cover the top of the tray to prevent over browning.
• Take it out of the over when you stick a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake comes out clean or with one or two stray crumbs.
• Cool on the counter. Slice up and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea or simply as an afternoon snack!

 Optional: Mix powdered sugar with a little bit of milk and a drop of Almond Extract to form a liquid glaze. Drizzle it on the sliced cake before serving for some extra oomph!
