Ingredients
- 1 and 1/4 cups of confectioners' sugar, with a little more for sprinkling
- 3/4 cup of almond flour
- 1/4 cup of sifted all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs whites
- 1/3 cup of melted butter
- 1/2 cup of luscious Nutella® hazelnut spread
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, blend together the sweet confectioners' sugar, delicate almond flour, and sifted all-purpose flour. Add in the egg whites and the melted butter, mixing until the ingredients harmonize perfectly. Let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for an hour to set and develop its flavors.
Step 2
As the oven heats up to a cozy 350 degrees F, prepare a petite muffin pan by greasing and lightly flouring it. Divvy up the batter evenly among the 24 charming muffin cups or in the pan, ready for baking.
Step 3
Slide the pan into the warmth of the oven's center rack and bake for 12 minutes. Once baked to perfection, allow the treats to cool in the pan for 10 minutes on a cooling rack before gently removing them.
Step 4
Using a toothpick, delicately puncture a small hole into each cake, paving the way for a delightful surprise. Fill a piping bag with luscious Nutella® hazelnut spread and generously pipe 1/2 tsp of Nutella® into each waiting crevice.
Step 5
To enhance the visual appeal, crown the treats with an extra dollop of Nutella® and a light dusting of confectioners' sugar. Enjoy these delectable creations with a cup of tea or coffee for a truly indulgent experience.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Seal the almond cake in an airtight container to keep it fresh and moist. This will ensure that every bite is as delicious as the first.
- 2. Store the cake in a cool, dark place to prevent it from becoming too dry or crumbly. A pantry or cupboard away from direct sunlight is ideal.
