Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar together using a mixer or by hand until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix to preserve the fluffy texture.
Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
Remove the almond cakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar for a decorative and flavorful garnish.
Serve with tea, coffee, or enjoy as a light dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
