1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the filling:

1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup chopped almonds
For the frosting:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pans
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing two 9-inch round cake pans. Set them aside.
2. Prepare the cake batter
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

3. Bake the cakes
Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them and allowing them to cool completely on a wire rack.
4. Make the filling
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling by mixing together the ricotta cheese, confectioners' sugar, almond extract, and chopped almonds.
5. Assemble the cake
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread the filling on top. Place the second cake layer on top of the filling.
6. Make the frosting
In a mixing bowl, beat together the confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
