Servings: 20 people
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter plus 5 tablespoons
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar plus 2 tablespoons, additional for dusting
- 5 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons honey
- nonstick vegetable oil spray
- 2 cups blackberries fresh or frozen, thawed, halved
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until browned bits begin to form, frequently scraping the bottom of the pan. Continue to simmer until fragrant and dark brown but not burnt, about 6 to 7 minutes. Scrape the butter and all the browned bits into a medium bowl and let cool for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, process the almonds and flour in a food processor until the nuts are finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and whisk in 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Add the egg whites and mix until smooth, then fold in the honey.
- Fold the browned butter into the batter. Do ahead: The batter can be made up to 3 days in advance. Cover and chill.
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Coat the muffin cups with nonstick spray. Pour 1 generous tablespoon of batter into each prepared muffin cup and top with 3 to 4 blackberry halves.
- Bake until the cakes are golden brown and just cooked through, about 15 to 16 minutes. Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusting with powdered sugar just before serving.
