Preheat the oven 350℉.
In a large pan over medium heat, toast the almonds. Stir the almonds around until lightly golden. After the almonds have cooled, grind them in a food processor until fine.
¾ cup sliced almonds
Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
1 cup unsalted butter, 1 ¼ cups white sugar
Add the egg, milk, and almond extract until smooth.
1 egg, 2/3 cup milk, 2 teaspoons almond extract
Sift the dry ingredients into the bowl and mix to combine. Then, stir in the ground almonds.
1 ¼ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
Spray a mini bundt pan with baking spray and fill each well two-thirds of the way full.
Bake 18-22 minutes until a tester comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan – then invert onto a wire rack.
Optional: top with whipped cream and slivered almonds for serving.
