Instructions
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), cream together 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature) and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the 2 large eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Stir in 1 cup plain Greek yogurt until the batter is well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined; do not overmix.
To make the streusel, in a medium bowl combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cut 1/2 stick cold unsalted butter into small pieces and work it into the dry mixture with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture is crumbly and evenly moistened. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chopped Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Almonds.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan (the batter will be thick). Evenly sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.
Spoon the remaining batter over the streusel and spread gently to cover. Evenly sprinkle the remaining streusel on top, then top with the remaining 1/4 cup chopped almonds.
Bake at 350°F until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
Cool the cake to room temperature in the pan. Cut into squares and serve.
