Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper cases.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cooled cakes with powdered sugar before serving.
