Whip the eggs and sugar until the mixture is foamy.
2.
Add Melted Butter, Salt, and Vanilla Sugar
Stir in the melted butter. Mix until smooth and even.
3.
Incorporate Almond Powder
Gradually add almond powder while continuously stirring to prevent clumping.

Pour the mixture into a pre-lined or buttered mold.
5.
Initial Baking
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 20 minutes.

Prepare the Crunchy Honey Almond Topping
While the cake bakes, combine butter, honey, cream, and sugar in a saucepan and let them melt over low heat.

Add Sliced Almonds
Thoroughly mix to coat the almonds.

Take the cake out of the oven.
