  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then stir in the light brown sugar until glossy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, then mix in vanilla and almond extracts.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; fold into the wet ingredients gently.
  5. For the frangipane, combine almond flour, granulated sugar, and an additional egg in a bowl until smooth.
  6. Spread the blondie batter into the pan, dollop frangipane mixture on top, and swirl together.
  7. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool completely in the pan, remove using parchment paper, dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
