Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray.
-
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, and almond extract until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, 1/4 cup sugar, and softened butter. Mix until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
-
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, forming a crust.
-
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough crust.
-
Carefully spread 1/4 cup of fruit preserves (such as strawberry or raspberry) over the cream cheese layer, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup sliced almonds.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cream cheese filling is set.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before carefully removing it from the pan.
-
Slice and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers to maintain freshness.
