    I love Jacques Pepin’s recipes because they always work and are gorgeous too. These cakes are no exception. I like the idea of using the food processor. It makes haste of work time.

      Thanks for stopping by Sam. I love watching Chef Pépin on PBS. He just knows so much about food. I was shocked that this could be made in a food processor.

      I am slowly replacing my bakeware. The pan is the same brand as your shortbread pan. I started to buy the shortbread pan, but thought I would get more use from the mini bundt. The shortbread pan is still on my list. I am really happy with the even distribution of heat and easy cleanup. As for the hearts if you see last weeks it shows improvement, but I still have a way to go. Yes, on Pèpin.

    I just happen to have some almond meal in my freezer. I made some raspberry financiers last year and have a lot of the almond mixture left over. These little cakes sound like a good use for it. Love your presentation. Will have to go back and look at your last post to see how to make the creme Anglaise and strawberry coulis. Beautiful dessert!

    I think it’s wonderful that the little almond cakes are made in the food processor! How easy is that? (Oh, that’s Ina talking, isn’t it?!!). The cakes are adorable on top on top of your lovely creme anglaise, which I thought was perfect already!! I already have the mini bundt pans… hmmm, wouldn’t this be great for a ladies luncheon? Thanks for eating all those cakes for us!!

    How BEAUTIFULLY STYLED your mini almond cakes are!! Have you ever thought of putting a book together?! I’m sure it would be a hit, especially with photos like these. Madonna, they sound delicious, and even better, something that one can totally depend on, as you say. Love the instant elegance by turning them upside down…brilliant!

    Thanks for sharing and inspiring and spreading a smile on my face!

      Poppy, you are so kind. I am still working diligently just trying to figure it all out. I can attest that the almond cakes are delish, and I found it funny that when you turn over the cupcake it becomes a teacake.

    I’ve made this cake in the three-layer version, but never thought to make the mini cakes – so much more practical and I’d make them more often. I loved the way you plated them with the crème anglais and the strawberries hearts. Perfect for Valentine’s Day. And I agree with you about Jacques Pepin. He’s always so reliable in his technique and recipes.

      Chef Pépin made the three-layer version for his daughter’s engagement party, but the mini fits my life. I have been working hard on plating so thank you for commenting.

    These sound great and pretty easy which makes them sound even greater. I do find it funny that if you turn them over they are no longer cupcakes!
    Thanks for sharing at our Valentine’s Party at Saturday Dishes!
