These delightful almond cakes are soft, moist, and bursting with nutty flavor. Topped with a rich layer of Nutella® Hazelnut Spread, they make the perfect treat for any occasion.
Start by mixing the confectioners' sugar, almond flour, and sifted all-purpose flour together in a bowl. Then, stir in the egg whites and melted butter until everything is nicely combined. Pop the batter into the fridge for about an hour to chill.

Bake Mini Muffins
When you’re ready, preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour a mini muffin pan, then spoon the batter evenly into about 24 cups. Bake them on the middle rack for around 12 minutes. Once they’re done, let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before taking them out.

Fill and Finish Cakes
Use a toothpick to poke a small hole in the center of each cake. Fill a piping bag with Nutella and carefully spoon about half a teaspoon into each hole. For a finishing touch, spread a little more Nutella on top and dust with some extra confectioners’ sugar. Enjoy!
