Ingredients for Almond Wedding Cake Cupcakes

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this Almond Wedding Cake Cupcakes

• 1 box white cake mix or homemade white cake base
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 4 large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon almond extract

How to Make Almond Wedding Cake Cupcakes

Step One

The first thing you need to do is preheat your oven. Start by preheating your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a cupcake tray with paper cupcake cases.

Step Two

Then mix the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, oil, egg whites, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth. Add the cake mix. Slowly add the dry cake mix and water, stirring until light and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix.

Step Three

Now try filling your cupcake cases. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to fill each cupcake case about two-thirds full. This ensures they rise perfectly without overflowing.

Step Four

Then bake. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

Step Five

Now it’s time to prepare the topping. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, almond extract, and a pinch of salt, until the mixture is smooth.

Step Six

Finally, decorate the cake with the frosting: Spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes using a piping bag or by spreading it over them. Add small almond shards or edible sprinkles for decoration.
