This is my entry for this month's Iron cupcake challenge. This month the chosen ingredients are nuts and seeds. I chose to use aniseed and almonds.
This is a vanilla almond cupcake with aniseed and a hint of lemon. It has an almond centre (although not much visible in the photo cause it has the same colour of the batter) It is topped with whipped cream, aniseed, chopped almonds and a drizzle of caramel. A cookie made from ground almonds, lemon, semolina and aniseed compliments this cupcake.
