Hướng dẫn

Preheat oven to 175 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, sugar, egg, vanilla & salt in a bowl until smooth.

Sift in the flour and baking powder and stir until a thick batter forms, then pour into a lined square tin.

Give the bowl a quick wipe then make the frangipane - adding the butter and sugar and creaming with an electric beater for 2-3 mins.

Beat in the vanilla and almond extract, then the eggs one at a time. Finally, beat in the almond meal until just combined.

Evenly spread the mixture over the base then cover with the flaked almonds.

Bake for 35-40 minutes until lightly golden brown. Allow to fully cool before dusting with icing sugar.
