Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Serve at room temperature, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
