4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
2/3 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup walnuts hazelnuts, pecans, or almon
8 tablespoons unsalted butter soft
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
6 bitter almond kernels
6 sweet almond kernels
2 teaspoons baking powder

Add the melted butter and stir to combine.
3
Set aside.

Batter directions:
5
Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time. Mix well until white and bubbly.
6
With a mortar and pestle, pulverize both kinds of almonds. In a small bowl mix together flour, salt, baking powder, and pulverized almonds. Gradually add flour mixture to the batter alternately with milk. The batter will be dense.
7
Spread 1/2 of the batter into the baking dish.
8
Using your hands, distribute the nutty filling evenly over the batter.
9
Carefully spread the other half of the batter over the nutty filling.
10
Bake in 350*F preheated oven for 1 hour. I cover my cake with a piece of aluminum foil after 40 minutes to prevent from over browning.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
