Can put cement on particle board for countertops?

My kitchen countertops are Formica glued to what looks like a particle board base. Can I remove the Formica and place cement on top of the particle board to create a cement countertop?

    Particle may not be your best bet for cement counter top unless it is really thin cement counter. I would replace the particle board with plywood.

    I would leave the Formica in place, unless you want to also remove the particle board. It's not going away easily.
