👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease two 8 inch round cake pans, or 9 inch pie plates.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs, reserving just enough to brush over the tops, about 1 tablespoon.

Stir in the almond extract.

Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter by hand using a sturdy spoon.

The dough will be stiff.

Press evenly into the two prepared pans.

Press almond halves into the top where each slice would be.

Brush the tops with a thin layer of the reserved egg.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
