Almond Cakes Recipe
One of my favorite pans is this one.. little tiny cakes. These mini cakes are perfect to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in green!
This mini cake pan can be used for any special 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.
You can pour this into a greased 9 inch square pan at 350 degrees hot oven, bake for 25 minutes or until center comes out clean with a toothpick. When cooled cut into shapes with a cookie cutter.
Note: I have a molded pan that I used purchased online.
