Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch (23 cm) round pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and 1 cup sugar until pale and fluffy. It should take around 10 minutes.
4
Add vanilla extract and lemon zest to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
5
Beat the eggs into the mixture one at a time, mixing for 1 minute after each addition.
6
Slowly add half of the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix at low speed to avoid over-mixing.
7
Now, add the sour cream and 2 tbsp lemon juice, and mix until combined.
8
Gently fold in the remaining dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
9
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and evenly sprinkle almond slivers on top.
10
Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11
Meanwhile, prepare the lemon syrup by mixing 1/3 cup sugar and 3 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl. Heat gently in the microwave until the sugar is completely dissolved.
12
As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, pour the warm lemon syrup evenly over the hot cake. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

Once cooled, slice and enjoy your Luscious Lemon Almond Bliss Cake!
