Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a 10x10cm (4x4 inch) tin with baking paper.
2
Melt the butter and whisk with the sugar until glossy, then beat in the egg until pale and slightly thickened.
3
Stir in the orange zest and orange juice.
4
Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt over the wet mixture, then fold in the almond flour until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
6
Bake for 22-25 minutes until the edges are golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
7
Cool in the tin on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then lift out and scatter over the toasted sliced almonds.
8
Cool completely before slicing into a single square for serving.
