Have you ever had one of those days when you just need cake because not every moment calls for a big, fancy layered one and instead you crave something sweet that is soft and kind of comforting, That was exactly me last weekend since the kids were fighting over who would get the last pancake, I was just two sips into cold coffee number three when it hit me almond cake cupcakes.

Oh wow it was light and nutty and had just the right kind of sweet so much so that my youngest called them “tiny almond clouds” and honestly I teared up a little.What I love most is that they’re low-key fancy in a way that makes it seem like you really tried even though you didn’t actually try that hard you know.
