How To Make almond pound cake

1
Sift together dry ingredients. Set aside. Place sugar and almond paste in a food processor and pulse until combined. It should have the consistency of sand. Add butter and oil to almond paste mixture and mix well, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and mix. Gradually add flour mixture and 1/2 cup milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.

2
Pour into 1 greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
3
TOPPING: Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth, adding additional milk if needed. Stir in extracts. Drizzle over cooled cake and top with sliced almonds.
