Weeknight Almond Cake with Salted Caramel

Method

1. Heat the oven and prepare your pan; measure unsalted butter and mascarpone precisely.

2. Combine the dry and wet ingredients just until smooth, without overmixing.

3. Fold in baking powder and transfer the batter to the pan, leveling the top.

4. Bake until set and golden and a tester comes out clean.

5. Cool before slicing so the almond cake holds its shape.
