Description
Mini Warm Butter Almond Cakes are delightful bites that offer a sweet escape with their buttery flavor and almond crunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds (for topping)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a mini muffin pan by greasing it or lining it with mini cupcake liners.
- In a mixing bowl, pour in the melted butter and sugar, then whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Scoop the batter into the mini muffin pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Top each cake with a sprinkle of sliced almonds for added crunch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Before serving, lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
Notes
- Yields 12 servings.
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the batter.
- For a gluten-free twist, you can replace half of the all-purpose flour with coconut flour.
- These delightful bites are perfect served warm alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent treat.
