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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar together using a mixer or by hand until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix to preserve the fluffy texture.

Step 6

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Once cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar for a decorative and flavorful garnish.

Step 10

Serve with tea, coffee, or enjoy as a light dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
