Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place all cake ingredients in a bowl and use a hand mixer to mix throughout.
Add oil of choice to a paper towel and wipe the edges and bottom of a 8 inch non-stick pan. I still add the oil despite being labeled as non-stick.
Pour half the batter into the pan and bake for 30 minutes OR until it passes the fork trick (sticking the fork in and it coming out clean.)
Let the cake sit for 10 minute and flip upside down. The cake should fall out.
Wipe the pan of any access crumbs and wipe the pan of oil of choice again and repeat baking steps.
Once both cakes are cooled add frosting to the top of one cake, stack the second cake and add frosting to the top and sides.
Optional : Sprinkle almonds on top.
