Try these tasty mini almond citrus cakes with zesty syrup for a delicious winter treat!
Ingredients:
  • 6 Free Range Egg whites
  • 185g butter, melted
  • 240g icing sugar mixture
  • 180g almond meal
  • 75g plain flour
  • 1 tsp finely grated Zesting Lemon rind
  • 1 tsp finely grated lime rind
  • 1 tsp finely grated orange rind
  • Coles Australian Dollop Cream, to serve
  • Coles Zesting Lemon, zested, to serve
  • 125ml orange juice
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 1 whole star anise
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease a 12-hole friand pan or muffin pan (1/3 cup/80ml capacity). In a bowl, whisk egg whites until slightly frothy. Add butter, icing sugar, almond meal, flour, and combined rind. Gently mix until just combined. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centers comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To create a flavorful syrup, combine orange juice, sugar, star anise, and 1/3 cup (80ml) water in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes until the syrup thickens.
  • Finish the cakes with a dollop of creamy goodness, a drizzle of syrup, and a sprinkle of zesty lemon peel.
