Steps

Cinnamon Almond Paste

1. In a medium bowl, combine the almond butter, softened butter, brown sugar, almond flour, salt, and almond extract. Set aside.

Cinnamon Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 10” round springform pan and line with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and creamy (~5-6 minutes).
4. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and beat for another minute. Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated.
5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Add half of the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread. Dollop or scoop half of the cinnamon almond paste on top. Repeat the process one more time. Use a toothpick or butter knife to swirl the paste and batter around slightly.
7. Top with the sliced almonds.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with moist crumbs. Tent with foil if top is browning too quickly.
9. Remove and let cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan, then unmold and transfer to a wire cooling rack.

Almond Glaze

1. Whisk together the sugar, milk or water, and extracts in a medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the still-warm-but-not-hot cake.
2. Slice and serve warm.
