Burnt Butter Baby Cakes Recipes

BABYCAKES

Steps:

• For the Cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small mixing bowl add the baking soda, salt, baking powder and flour. Mix thoroughly with a fork and set aside. In a large mixing bowl add the eggs, honey, both sugars and butter. Mix until smooth using a hand mixer. Add the cinnamon and baby food. Mix until smooth. Using a rubber spatula fold in the pecans. Slowly add the flour mixture using a sifter and fold in until ingredients are evenly mixed.
• Place 24 mini baking cups (2-inch, nonfoil) into each hole of the mini muffin pan. Place a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag into a bowl (for support) and pour the cupcake batter into the bag. Seal the bag and cut the tip off 1 of the bottom corners of the bag. Squeeze the batter into each baking cup, filling them only 3/4 of the way full. Place the mini muffin pan in the oven on the center rack. Bake for 12 minutes.
• For the Frosting: In a small mixing bowl add the extracts, milk, cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer. When the cupcakes are done baking remove each cupcake from the pan and place on a cooling rack. Place the cooling rack in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Once the cupcakes are cooled remove them from the refrigerator. Frost each cupcake by putting a generous dollop of frosting on the top with a spoon. Garnish top with ground pecans and they are ready to serve.

BURNT BUTTER POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F
• Lightly butter and flour (with almond flour) a loaf pan
• Heat butter in a saucepan on medium heat until the butter starts to boil and turn brown. The key with burnt butter is to continually stir it with a whisk. You don't want to actually scald and burn your butter so much it's ruined. There's a time where it keeps bubbling (and you keep stirring). You will think it will never get to the burnt stage. But very quickly the bubbles go away and the color changes darker. That's the moment it's burnt but not scalded. Take off of the heat then, no more heat for that butter!
• Immediately transfer the butter to a glass pie pan or a shallow glass dish and put in the freezer for 15 minutes until it starts to harden around the edges
• In a medium bowl mix together almond flour, baking powder and salt
• In a large mixing bowl, beat brown butter with honey and stevia and at the end add the arrowroot powder. The mixture should start to thicken
• Add one egg at a time and mix together
• Once mixed, add the vanilla extract
• Slowly mix in the dry flour ingredients to complete the batter
• Transfer batter to the loaf pan and tap on the counter to allow it to settle in and get any air bubbles out. Bake for 1 hour- 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean
• Cool in pan for 30 minutes and then transfer out of the pan onto a metal rack and cool completely, the cooling process in the pan is very important
• Serve sliced or use in my mixed berry trifle recipe
