| One of my favorite pans is this one.. little tiny cakes. A great little mold pan I purchased online. One of my toys I like to use for special occasion treats like for St. Patty's Day. This is a Petit Fours cake pan that are miniature cakes perfect to use for any occasion. |
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons almond extract
1/4 cup chopped almonds
11/3 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 egg whites
Cream the butter for around 3 minutes with shortening and sugar. Add the extract, flour, almonds baking powder, salt alternating with milk until smooth. In another bowl whip the egg whites until soft peaks and gently fold into the creamed mixture until blended.
