Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Fig and Almond Cupcakes is an American dessert. This recipe makes 12 servings with 247 calories, 5g of protein, and 11g of fat each. For 94 cents per serving, this recipe covers 5% of your daily requirements of vitamins and minerals. Head to the store and pick up lemon juice, orange juice, honey, and a few other things to make it today. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 45 minutes. It is a good option if you're following a lacto ovo vegetarian diet. Only a few people made this recipe, and 1 would say it hit the spot. It is brought to you by Foodista. All things considered, we decided this recipe deserves a spoonacular score of 24%. This score is not so excellent. Similar recipes are Figueroa Cupcakes: Chunky Lemon Fig Cake, Salted Honey Fig Compote, Cream Cheese Frosting, Chocolate Cupcakes with Coconut Frosting {Almond Joy Cupcakes}, and Fig Newton Cupcakes.

Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti are my top picks for Cupcakes. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry

Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
