   • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

   • Line a baking pan with parchment paper and pour in the cake batter.
   • Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter.

   • Place the cooled cream into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
   • Pipe the cream in desired shapes or lines over the cake batter.
4. Bake the Cake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
