Lightly grease the baking mold and line it with baking paper.

Sift the flour and baking powder together, ensuring they are mixed well after sifting.

Mix the softened butter and sugar together and beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes until fluffy and pale.

Add the egg yolks in batches and mix well, then add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Pour in the milk and mix thoroughly.

Add the sifted flour and baking powder, mix slowly at low speed, then use a spatula to fold the mixture.

Fill the batter into the baking mold as far as possible to the edges while maintaining the square shape.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites at medium speed for one minute, then add the sugar in three batches, beating for 30 seconds each time until stiff peaks form.

Spread the meringue evenly over the batter and sprinkle with almond slices.

Preheat the oven to 170°C and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the meringue is dry and light golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool on a cooling rack for 20 minutes before removing the mold, leaving the baking paper on until completely cool.

Whip the crème Chantilly filling while waiting for the cake to cool.

After cooling, turn the cake upside down, remove the baking paper from the bottom, and cover with new baking paper.

Cut the cake in half, place one piece meringue side down, spread the crème Chantilly on the sponge side, and place the remaining half on top with meringue side up.
