Whisk eggs in medium bowl. Add ½ cup horchata, vanilla extract and almond extract; whisk to combine. Set aside.
Step 3
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in large mixer bowl. Gradually beat in butter, a few pieces at a time, until mixture is crumbly (should be size of peas).
Step 4
Add half of the egg mixture and beat for about 1 minute on medium-high speed until thick and smooth. Add remaining egg mixture and beat for about 30 seconds or until creamy. Spoon into prepared pan.
