Summer Cupcakes

Several frosted cupcakes are placed on a dark surface. Some are arranged in a wicker basket while others are outside of it. The background is slightly blurred.

Cupcakes are such a fun and simple way to celebrate the flavors of summer. I love this Summer Cupcakes recipe because it brings a burst of sunshine to your taste buds with every bite. When you're enjoying them at a beach picnic or simply craving a light, fresh dessert at home, these cupcakes are the perfect sweet treat for the season.

Instructions

Start by gathering all your ingredients and preheating your oven to 350°Fahrenheit (175°Celsius). Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners, so you’re ready to go.
In a mixing cup, beat the egg with your sweetener of choice. You can use sugar or a sugar substitute, depending on your preference.
Slowly mix in the butter, almond flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and well combined. You should have a light and creamy batter.
Pour the batter into your muffin tin, filling each liner about halfway. Bake under 390°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool completely before moving to the next step.
Once the cupcakes are cooled, use a cupcake plunger or a small knife to make a hole in the center of each cupcake. This will hold your delicious cream filling.
Fill each hole with your favorite cream or frosting. If you’re feeling adventurous, use your fire torch to gently toast the top of the cream for a fun, summer twist.

Notes

Make sure your butter is at room temperature before mixing—it helps everything combine more smoothly.
Don’t overfill your cupcake liners. Leave a little room for the cupcakes to rise as they bake.
If you don’t have a cupcake plunger, a small spoon works just as well to create space for the cream filling.
