ORANGE COFFEE CAKE

INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by orange juice, sour cream, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Mix until smooth.
Combine Batter:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Assemble Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the almond topping evenly over the batter.
Bake:
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
