Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the sugar and egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy, about 2 minutes.
Add low-fat milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the egg whites and sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until everything is well incorporated.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve. Enjoy your light and fluffy low-fat almond cake!
