Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 3/4 cups cake flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 5 large egg whites
  • 1 cup milk, room temperature

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare muffin tins with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In the stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  4. Add the egg whites one at a time, allowing each to fully incorporate before adding the next.
  5. Gradually mix in the flour and milk alternately until just combined.
  6. Fill each muffin cup with batter.
Baking
  1. Bake for 21-23 minutes or until lightly browned and springy to the touch.
  2. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Serving
  1. Frost with buttercream or whipped cream, and decorate with fresh fruits or edible flowers.
Storage
  1. Store decorated cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

Ensure precision in measurements for the best texture. Room-temperature ingredients improve fluffiness. Preheat the oven well for even baking.
