Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups superfine sugar
- 2 3/4 cups cake flour
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup warm milk
- Fig Filling, recipe follows
- Maple Buttercream, recipe follows
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 24 count regular-size cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- In a heavy-duty mixing bowl, cream together the butter and shortening on medium speed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time until, completely combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the superfine sugar with the mixer set to low speed. Once combined, set the mixer to medium speed and mix for 5 minutes.
- Sift together the cake flour, almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Begin to add the sifted dry ingredients to the batter, alternating with the warm milk. Fold in the sliced almonds.
- Fill the cupcake liners two-thirds of the way and bake for 16 to 20 minutes. Use a toothpick to poke in the center of the cupcake and if it comes out clean then the cupcakes are done. Remove from the pan and place onto a tray to cool.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, fill the center of the cupcakes with 1 tablespoon Fig Filling. Using a pastry bag and piping tip, frost the cupcakes with the Maple Buttercream. Pat the sides of the buttercream with the toasted almonds.
