Ingredients
- Unsalted butter – 100g softened
- Sugar – 100g
- Eggs – 2 large
- Almond flour – 120g
- All-purpose flour – 2 tbsp
- Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
- Almond extract – ½ tsp optional
- Salt – a pinch
Instructions
Cream Butter and Sugar
- Add softened butter and sugar to a bowl. Mix until light and fluffy. This step creates a smooth base. Make sure there are no lumps left in the mixture.
Add Eggs Slowly
- Crack eggs into the mixture one by one. Mix well after each addition. This helps the batter stay smooth and prevents it from splitting during mixing.
Add Flavorings
- Pour in vanilla extract and almond extract. Stir gently until combined. These flavors give frangipane its classic taste and sweet aroma.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- Add almond flour, all-purpose flour and salt. Fold everything gently with a spatula. Do not overmix. The mixture should stay soft and slightly thick.
Prepare for Baking
- Transfer the frangipane into a tart shell or baking dish. Spread it evenly using a spatula. Make sure the surface is smooth for even baking.
Bake the Frangipane
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden on top. The center should feel set but soft when touched lightly.
Cool Before Serving
- Remove from oven and let it cool. This helps it set properly. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for smooth mixing.
- Do not overmix the batter. It can affect texture.
- Use fine almond flour for best results.
- Add sliced fruits on top before baking for variation.
- Check doneness by lightly pressing the center.
