Delicious birthday cake macarons recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour, finely ground
  • 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • ½ cup vanilla cake mix
  • sprinkles, for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  3. In a mixing bowl, sift together 1 cup of almond flour and 1 ¾ cups of powdered sugar.
  4. In a clean mixing bowl, whip 3 large egg whites until frothy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
  5. Gradually add in ¼ cup of granulated sugar while increasing the speed to high until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold in the almond flour mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula.
  7. Transfer your macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip (about ½ inch wide).
  8. Pipe small circles onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them.
  9. Tap the baking sheets against your counter to release air bubbles and create a flat top.
  10. Bake in your preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until they form “feet”.
  11. While they cool down completely, whip together ½ cup unsalted butter, 1 cup heavy cream, and about ½ cup of vanilla cake mix until light and fluffy.
  12. Add in some vanilla extract and sprinkles for extra joy.
  13. Once cooled, pipe a generous dollop of filling onto half of your macaron shells.
  14. Top each filled shell with another shell to create sandwiches.

Notes

Store macarons in an airtight container.

Enjoy them chilled for freshness.

Serve with colorful sprinkles on top.

Let batter rest before piping.
