Description

Indulge in these delightful cupcakes, a treat that brings joy to everyone. Crafted with finely ground almonds, these cupcakes offer a unique texture that is both tender and satisfying. The almond base lends a subtle nutty flavor, creating a comforting and wholesome experience with every bite.

The cupcakes are crowned with a light and airy chocolate buttercream, perfectly complementing the rich almond flavor. The buttercream is smooth and velvety, adding a touch of elegance and decadence to the treat. The combination of the nutty cupcake and the creamy chocolate creates a harmonious balance of flavors that is simply irresistible.

Enjoying these cupcakes warm, without the topping, enhances their delicate almond flavor and provides a comforting, almost melt-in-your-mouth experience. The warmth accentuates the natural sweetness of the almonds, making them a perfect treat for a cozy afternoon or a delightful dessert after a meal. Preparing the cake batter is a breeze, whether you prefer the traditional method of mixing by hand or the convenience of using a food processor.

Both approaches yield a smooth and consistent batter, ensuring that each cupcake is perfectly baked. The recipe uses a sugar alternative to maintain a lower carb count, allowing you to savor the sweetness without any guilt. Feel free to experiment with your preferred sweetener, adjusting the quantity to suit your taste preferences.

These cupcakes are not just a dessert; they are an experience. They are perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or simply as a special treat to brighten your day. Their delightful flavor and texture make them a hit with both adults and children, ensuring that everyone can partake in the joy of these delightful creations.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tray with 10 cupcake cases.
    2.
    Add 1/3 cup of butter to a food processor along with 1/3 cup of xylitol. Blend together to form a creamy paste.
    3.
    Add the eggs to the food processor along with 2 tablespoons of almond milk, the vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend on a high-speed setting until creamy and smooth.
    4.
    Add the ground almonds to the food processor along with the baking soda and mix well to form a smooth and creamy cake batter.
    5.
    Dividing equally, spoon the batter evenly between the 10 cupcake cases.
    6.
    Transfer to the oven to bake for 18 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean and the cakes are golden brown.
    7.
    Set the cakes aside to cool completely whilst you prepare the buttercream. Add the remaining xylitol to a food processor and blend to a fine powder. Add the remaining butter and cocoa powder to the food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Continue to blend adding the remaining milk a little at a time until you have a fluffy smooth frosting.
    8.
    Once completely cooled, pipe or spoon the frosting onto the cupcakes to serve.
