That depends. How much almond powder does it call for? Nut powders are often substituted for part of the flour, for which extract would not be a suitable substitute.

As Wayne mentioned, "almond powder" is probably an alternative term for what in the U.S. is commonly called "almond flour". It's very finely ground nuts and is available in both toasted and plain forms. You can make your own but if using a blender or processor be careful not to overdo, which will result in an oily paste.

Almond extract is entirely different.
