Prepare the cake pan with melted butter and flour to prevent sticking.

In a small bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.

In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups of sugar, 1 egg, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of almond extract.

Add 2/3 cup of milk to the sugar and egg mixture and stir until smooth.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture, folding until combined.

Add 1/2 cup of melted butter and mix until well combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, filling it about 3/4 full.

Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes.

Let the cake cool completely before loosening the edges and removing it from the pan.

For the frosting, mix 3/4 cup of powdered sugar with 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of milk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until desired consistency is reached.

Drizzle the frosting over the cooled cake and sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
