Method

In large bowl, beat butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy; beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in grated orange rind and almond extract.

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt ; stir into butter mixture alternately with milk, making 3 additions of flour mixture and 2 of milk. Stir in blueberries and almonds. Spread in greased and parchment paper–lined 9- x 5-inch (2 L) loaf pan.

Topping: Sprinkle sliced almonds and granulated sugar evenly over batter. Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven for about 1 hour or until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean.

Let loaf cool in pan on rack for 15 minutes. Turn out loaf onto rack; let cool. (Make-ahead: Wrap and store at room temperature for up to 2 days or overwrap with heavy-duty foil and freeze for up to 2 weeks.)
