Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
In another bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
Blend in sour cream until smooth.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Top the batter with sliced almonds and press them lightly into the batter.
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For a lighter version, consider using whole wheat flour or replacing granulated sugar with coconut sugar.
