Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Toast 2 cups of slivered almonds on a baking sheet for 5-8 minutes until deep golden brown.

Mix 1.5 cups of granulated sugar with a half cup of cinnamon to create cinnamon sugar.

In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Coat the toasted almonds with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.

In a stand mixer, combine 3 large eggs and 1 cup of granulated sugar, then add 1 cup of vegetable oil and mix until smooth.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the toasted almonds to the mixture.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing until a homogeneous dough forms.
