Using a stand mixer on medium speed (you can use a hand mixer, but it is a pain), combine the butter and sugar. Add egg and extracts. Beat well. Add a little of the flour mixture, then a little buttermilk. Add both at intervals until all is mixed together into a batter. Beat well on medium speed, scraping the sides to make sure all is incorporated. </div> <div> Spoon the batter into the sprayed pan. Add the apple mixture on top. Sprinkle almond slices on top of apples. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. To remove cake, put a plate on top and flip it over. It should come out cleanly. Remove pan and put a plate on top of the cake to flip it almond side up.</div> <div> Drizzle with glaze.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="recipes.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recipes">BACK TO RECIPES</A></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
