Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds will bring out their nutty flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast the almonds in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your cake light and airy.
Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that your cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze to set properly.
