Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan by lining it with a parchment sling.

In a mixing bowl, beat 6 tablespoons of salted butter with a hand mixer until creamy.

Add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar to the butter and mix until light and fluffy.

Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of almond extract to the mixture and mix until combined.

Gradually add 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour and mix until just combined, forming a thick batter.

Transfer the batter into the lined loaf pan and spread it into an even layer using an offset spatula.

Sprinkle 4-5 tablespoons of sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter.

Sprinkle a light layer of additional sugar over the almonds.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes, checking for doneness.

If the center is not set after 25 minutes, cover with foil and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Let the tart cool for a minute in the pan, then remove it using the parchment sling to cool completely.

Cut into pieces and serve warm.
