  3. Add sugar and zest: Mix in sugar and lemon zest until smooth.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: Sift all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt over the wet ingredients. Gently fold until well combined.
  5. Transfer to pan: Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Add topping: Sprinkle slivered almonds on top, if desired.
