These little cakes are firm enough to dip into the chocolate fondue. Cut into halves to encourage one dip, one bite.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 3/4 cup sifted cake-and-pastry flour
- 2 tbsp sliced almonds
Preparation
Grease and flour mini muffin cups; set aside.
In bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in almond extract. Add flour; stir just until blended. Spoon into prepared cups. Press almonds onto tops.
Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes in pan on rack. Turn out onto rack; let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Store, layered between waxed paper, in airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.)
