i love almonds so i decided to cover these little cakes in them,
i cut out the centres and filled them with sweet mascapone and the sponge is flavoured with orange and almonds.
110g butter
110g sugar
80g plain flour
30g ground almonds
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp almond extract
zest of half a orange and a little juice.
preheat the oven to 180c
grease four dariole moulds and set as side.
in a mixer cream together the butter and sugar then add the orange zest, juice and almond extract then add the eggs one at a time and mix until combined, sift in the flour and baking powder and add the ground almonds and fold in bake for approx 25 minutes then let cool
mix some mascapone approx 200g with icing sugar approx 100g until smooth
using an apple corer remove the centres and add the mascapone and then add the sponge back on.
then add some on the outside of the sponge and start adding the flaked almonds

Good Afternoon Aimee, Your Almond, Orange and Mascapone cakes are a work of art. To take a bite and to find the centre of the cake filled with mascarpone sweetened with icing sugar…. would be so unexpected…. a real treat.
Best Wishes to you.
