I started to make this cake when I lived in the tiniest Parisian apartment you can imagine, and the only equipment I had was a bowl, a fork and a toaster oven. But you don`t need more to make a delicious little dessert! For summer I like to add some raspberries or halved cherries. For winter maybe I`ll use caramelised kumquats or citrus zest. But I always use salted butter.

Preheat the oven to 180°.
Melt the butter in a little saucepan. Make sure to melt a little bit extra so you can grease the tin.
Whisk together egg and sugar with a fork until the mix is even.
Stir in the almond flour and the almond extract. The amount of extract depends on what brand you use!
Stir in the melted butter
Grease a tin (mine was 18 cm in diameter) with butter. Add the batter and top with flaked almonds.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cake is nice and golden. It should be a little "heavy" in the center! Let the cake cool completely before it is sliced.
