Preparation steps

Preheat the oven to 190°C (170 fan) | 375°F | gas 5 and line a 12-hole cupcake tin with paper cases.
2.
Combine the flour, ground almonds, sugar, butter, eggs and almond essence in a bowl and whisk together for 2 minutes or until smooth. Divide the mixture between the cases.
3.
To make the custard, stir the egg yolks, sugar, flours and vanilla extract together in a saucepan, then gradually add the milk. Heat the mixture until it starts to boil, stirring all the time, then take off the heat and beat vigorously to remove any lumps.
4.
Spoon the custard into a piping bag and pipe a design on top of the cakes then transfer the tin to the oven and bake for 15 - 20 minutes. Test with a wooden toothpick, if it comes out clean, the cakes are done. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool.
