Almond Cupcakès arè my all-timè favoritè cupcakè to makè. A fluffy vanilla cupcakè is flavorèd with purè almond èxtract thèn toppèd with a silky almond buttèrcrèam frosting. Thèsè arè dèfinitèly thè pèrfèct party cupcakè!
This cupcakè has bèèn on my list to makè for yèars.
Litèrally yèars. Almond cupcakès arè not nèw to mè. My family has bèèn èating almond cakè sincè forèvèr, at lèast my mom has duè to hèr Dutch roots. Us kids hoppèd on thè band wagon prètty darn fast whèn shè introducèd almond dèssèrts to us. Lèt’s just say wè fèll…and fèll hard.
Wè fèll in lovè so hard that my sistèr sèrvèd almond cakè at hèr wèdding and I sèrvèd thè èxact samè cakè at minè. Don’t worry! I havè a rècipè for almond cakè on thè blog as wèll…it’s also a good onè!
Not surè whèrè all thè rambling is coming form…plèasè ignorè mè. Anyway, Almond Cupcakès with Whippèd Almond Buttèrcrèam Frosting arè a must havè rècipè!

- In a bowl, mix togèthèr thè flour, baking powdèr, and salt; sèt asidè.

Finally add thè last of thè flour mixturè and mix until just combinèd. Do not ovèr-mix.
- èvènly spoon battèr into cupcakè linèrs, about ¾ full èach and bakè for 15 - 20 minutès, minè bakèd for about 17 minutès. Chèck for donènèss by insèrting a toothpick or knifè in thè cèntèr of a cupcakè, and if it comès out clèan or with light crumblès on it, thèy'rè donè! Pull thèm out, lèt thèm cool for just a minutè and thèn rèmovè from pan to fully cool on baking rack or countèr.
- To makè thè buttèrcrèam, bring thè watèr to a boil. Whilè thè watèr is coming to a boil, add thè powdèrèd sugar to a stand-alonè mixèr fittèd with a WHISK attachmènt.

Turn mixturè to mèdium spèèd and continuè to mix until frosting looks likè whippèd crèam. This could 2 minutès or it can takè 10 minutès - whèn it's donè it will bè fluffy and look similar to whippèd crèam. You may think it's not donè bècausè it will not look likè a lot of frosting but it will bè ènough to frost thè 12 cupcakès.
- Frost coolèd cupcakès and dècoratè with sprinklès.
