Also, not a baker, and it was pretty easy. Couldn't find almond flour, so I used regular flour in its place and added a teaspoon of almond paste for flavor. (And the glaze is amazing!)

Took me a whole year but I finally made it and boy was that a good idea. The brown butter glaze...I licked the bowl on that one! This cake was FANTASTIC!

I would have to play with baking times as cupcakes bake faster, and not sure how many cupcakes this would yield. You can try it though? Emily – honestly, I am not sure.

I was thinking of doing one with a brown butter frosting instead. Or some sort of barely sweet frosting paired with the glaze.

Maybe when I photographed it? I didn't use my finest extra virgin, but I used a good oil - I think you can definitely try it - after all, you're looking for a nice olive flavor. Good luck!!

Compared to the Serious Eats article and other blog posts, your glaze is the prettiest - not as thick and stodgy as the others - any ideas what made yours different? Did you use all the glaze? Also I have a really nice olive oil that is quite a strong first-press and I'm not sure if it will be really fantastic or really overpowering. Did you use a very high quality olive oil or just a generic, grocery extra-virgin? Cannot wait for the brown butter! Thanks! I’m going to make this cake tomorrow and am very excited!!

Yum yum yum into six bellies it went with everyone declaring it very tasty. I only used about half the glaze though so what can I do with the rest...apart from make another cake!
