-
Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line the bottom of a springform pan or cake pan with parchment paper.
-
Arrange almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 3-4 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Leave the oven on.
-
Meanwhile, beat butter and Besti together.
-
Beat in almond flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
-
Beat in eggs, sour cream, vanilla and almond extracts.
-
Bake at 350 degrees (177 degrees C) for 28-32 minutes, until the top is golden and springs back, and inserted toothpick comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan, until warm but no longer hot.
-
Meanwhile, whisk together the glaze ingredients.
-
Run a knife along the edges of the pan to release any parts that have stuck. If you used a springform pan, release and remove the sides (you can keep it sitting on the bottom part). If you used a cake pan, carefully flip over a towel, then flip again so that the cake is right side up.
-
Place the cake onto a wire rack. While the cake is still warm, use a pastry brush to brush the glaze over the top and sides of the cake, reserving 1 tablespoon (14 ml) of glaze.
-
Sprinkle toasted almonds over the cake and pat into the glaze. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of glaze on top of the almonds to help seal them.
-
Let the cake cool completely. If desired, sprinkle with more powdered Besti for serving.
