Step 1
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.
Step 3
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.

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.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Dust the cooled cakes with powdered sugar before serving.
