- 1 cup Almond Flour

Instructions
- To prepare, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease and line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave an overhang on the long sides. This step ensures a smooth and easy loaf release.
- In a spacious bowl, mix sugar with orange zest, using your clean fingers to massage and release the orange oil.
- Begin by adding two eggs and almond extract, then whisk the mixture for 30 seconds to 1 minute to achieve the desired consistency.
- Combine olive oil, orange juice, and yogurt, ensuring a thorough mix.
- In another bowl, sift almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Blend these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan for a smooth baking experience.
- Position the pan on the middle rack and bake for approximately 40 minutes until it turns golden, springs back when lightly touched, and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for approximately 10 minutes, ensuring it's just the right temperature.
- Begin by poking holes in the cake's top, then generously pour syrup and sprinkle sliced almonds.
- Lift the loaf out of the pan using the parchment overhang, place it on a rack, and peel away the parchment for easy removal.
