Making the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before icing.
Making the Icing
In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and almond extract until it reaches a spreadable consistency. Spread the icing onto the cooled cake and allow it to set before serving. If desired, you can decorate the cake with sprinkles or other decorations.
