Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 3 minutes.
Mix the almond flour, flour, and sugar for the almond topping. Add the softened butter, milk, and almond extract. Mix until you have a moist, crumbly almond mixture. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine the flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter, yogurt, milk, and almond extract. Mix gently until just combined. The batter should be thick but spoonable.
Lightly grease a 5–6 inch oven-safe ramekin or small baking dish. Transfer the batter into it and spread evenly. Don't fill the dish more than about ⅔ full.
Scatter the almond topping evenly over the surface. Gently press it down so it adheres to the batter. For an especially pretty finish, add a few sliced almonds on top.
Place the ramekin in the preheated air fryer. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for approximately 12–16 minutes. Begin checking at 12 minutes. The cake is ready when the top is golden, the center is set, and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. If the top is becoming too dark before the center is cooked, loosely cover the ramekin with a small piece of foil.
Mix the powdered sugar with ¼ teaspoon milk. Add a few drops more milk until smooth and drizzleable.
Allow the cake to cool for approximately 5 minutes. Drizzle the icing over the warm cake. Finish with toasted sliced almonds. Serve warm.

Don't bake at 350°F: The almond topping can brown before the center of the cake is finished. 320°F gives you a softer, more evenly baked result.
Use a shallow ramekin: It produces a better crumb-to-topping ratio than a tall mug.
Don't overbake: Almond flour and coconut-free cakes can become dry when overcooked.
For extra bakery flavor: Toast the almond flour for the topping lightly before using it, then cool it completely.
Can I use a different type of flour?
You can experiment with other flours, but the texture may vary.
How do I store leftovers?
Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Rewarm for approximately 5–10 seconds in the microwave before serving.
Can I add other toppings?
Yes, you can add sliced almonds or white chocolate for variation.
What if I don't have an air fryer?
You can bake it in a conventional oven, but the cooking time may vary.
Is it necessary to use almond extract?
Almond extract enhances the flavor, but you can omit it if preferred.
