5. Mix in the almond extract.
6. Alternately add the dry flour mixture and whole milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix gently until just combined.
7. For the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. To make the frosting, beat the softened unsalted butter for frosting until creamy.
11. Gradually add powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the butter, beating until smooth and fluffy.
12. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
