Almond cupcakes recipe | Easy Almond cup cakes recipe with quick video and step by step photos. This is one of the easiest and tested recipe at home with almonds and wheat flour. This recipe also uses egg.
I make this for my kid once in a while when there is stock of almonds and he craves for something sweet. Guess what ? My son is 3 year old and he loves to bake along with me. He helps me to whisk, fill the liner and decorate the muffins/cupcakes.
It is one of the most interesting and engaging activity for the mom and kid together. I have used half maida/all purpose flour and half of wheat flour. You can also try with 100% wheat flour.
I have used 2.5 tsp baking powder which is needed for the cupcakes for a good rise and will not give any odd flavour of baking powder to the cupcakes. In case you feel its high, you can reduce it to 2.25 tsp. Also along with vanilla essence, Almond essence can be added for a rich flavour.
