Saved by Oneclevermom

adapted from Cooking Light magazine, October 2012

6.75 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 TB butter, softened
2 TB canola oil
1 (7-ounce) package almond paste
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 1 TB 2% reduced-fat milk, divided
Baking spray with flour (such as Baker's Joy)
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/3 cup powdered sugar
Dash of salt

Preheat oven to 350F. Coat 9 x 5-inch metal loaf pan with baking spray.

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring well with a whisk. Place granulated sugar, butter, oil, and almond paste in a large mixing bowl and beat at medium speed until well combined (about 3 minutes). Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. With mixer at low speed, add flour mixture and 1/2 cup milk alternately to butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture; beat just until combined.

Scrape batter into prepared pan coated and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs clinging. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.

Place powdered sugar in a small bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon milk and dash of salt; stir with a whisk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over top of bread; let stand until set.
