Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch round or springform pan with nonstick spray.

Spread the almond slices on a small tray and bake them for about five minutes. Keep an eye out, so they don't burn! Once they're golden, take them out to cool.

In a medium bowl, mix together the salt, almond flour, and baking powder until everything looks blended nicely.

Grab a large bowl and whisk the eggs along with the almond extract, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and oil until the mixture looks smooth.

Pour the dry mixture into the wet bowl and stir until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
06 -
Pour your batter into the greased pan and evenly scatter the toasted almonds across the top.
07 -
Place the pan in your preheated oven, baking for 20 to 25 minutes. It's ready when the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool before serving. If you'd like, sprinkle extra almond slices or powdered sugar on top just before enjoying.
