Happy Chinese New Year

I was baking a dessert to take to my aunt's house, but we are staying in thanks to the snow/ice. It's better this way since I feel bad feeding my uncle butter. Due to the lack of good fruits for a tart, I made Thomas Keller's Almond Cake. Thomas Keller can do no wrong. I prefer this recipe over the Amateur Gourmet one I posted earlier because it's less dense and has honey and amaretto.


Unfortunately, our oven is broken, so I had to use the toaster oven resulting in uneven cupcakes. As usual, I reduced the sugar from 1/2 to 1/3 cup. My substitution for 7 ounces of almond paste is 1 cup almond flour plus 1 egg white.
