Ingredients
-
CAKE
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup water
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 cup margerine
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 large egg (half the yolk)
2 1/2 large egg whites
ICING/ GLAZE
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp water (give or take)
Directions
CAKE
Preheeat oven to 350 degrees.
Place cupcake liners into a 12 cup cupcake tin.
Whisk together flour and baking powder
In a seperate bowl, cream the margerine until it becomes fluffy. Gradually add the sugar. After the margerine and sugar are combined, add the egg and egg whites, as well as the almond extract.
Slowly add a fraction of the flour mixture to the batter. After the mixture is combined, add a fraction of the water. Continue to do this until all of the flour mixture and water has been combined with the rest of the batter. Be sure not to over blend!
Use an icecream scooper (a spoon will do just fine) to evenly fill each cup. One scoop should be enough for each one (unless you use a spoon!).
Place in center of oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Do not open oven before 20 minutes has gone by unless your cupcakes look like they are extreamly brown on top.
ICING/GLAZE
Mix powdered sugar and water together. Add the water slowly to make sure the glaze does not get to liquidy.
Blend in vanilla
ASSEMBLY
Wait until cupcakes have cooled.
Evenly distribute icing onto cooled cupcakes.
Serve and enjoy!
