Knowing this secret, you will surely prepare perfectly shaped cupcakes.

The uniqueness of this option is that there is no need for prolonged whipping of butter into butter cream, since this ingredient is simply not in the recipe. Instead, a vegetable one is used, and a mixture of a small amount of ginger and cinnamon adds a spicy flavor. So, take notes, because now we will share the simplest of recipes.

Ingredients:

  • Sugar - 1 tablespoon;
  • Flour - 1 glass;
  • Eggs - 2 pieces;

  3. Now we combine the dry and liquid bases and bring the dough until smooth, and only after that add vegetable oil into it and mix again.
  4. The oven needs to be preheated to 180 degrees, in the meantime we spread the dough into paper forms. They need to be filled no more than 1/3, since under the influence high temperatures the dough actively increases in volume. You can make a small surprise by placing fresh or frozen berries or pieces of dried fruit on the bottom of the mold.
  5. According to the recipe, mini-cupcakes need to be baked at the same 180 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, it all depends on the characteristics of the oven.

I'll knead biscuit dough right in the blender. You can just take a bowl with a mixer or a whisk. Place softened butter in a blender room temperature, sour cream (with a high percentage of fat), add sugar, vanillin and baking powder. I beat everything well.

Now break the eggs into a blender. It should be turned on at low speed. If you have a mixer, do the same. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking continuously. And only then carefully add the sifted flour, also beating the mass.

This is how we got the viscous dough. It is liquid, just like pancakes. It's necessary, don't be alarmed. Just keep in mind that the paper molds must either be cardboard or be combined with iron or other dense molds. Fill the molds one-third full with batter, otherwise the cupcakes may fall out during baking.

Place the molds with the dough in the oven for 20 minutes, temperature - 190 degrees. In the meantime I'll do sour cream. To do this, I’ll take a few tablespoons of sour cream and mix it with powdered sugar. You can add ground nuts or candied fruits to this. While the biscuits are being prepared, the sour cream sits in the refrigerator and hardens.

Makes 12 small (6 large) cupcakes

For the test:

Wheat flour 180-190 gr

Sugar 150 gr

Butter 115 gr

Sour cream 10% (or yogurt) 80 gr

Egg white 2 pcs

Baking powder ½ tsp.

Baking soda ¼ tsp.

Salt ½ tsp.

For cream:

Butter 230 gr

Cream 33-35% 60 g

Powdered sugar 200-250 g (to taste)

Vanilla essence (or dry vanillin 10 g)

Additionally:

Confectionery sprinkles for decoration

Paper capsules for cupcakes

Preparation:

  1. Dough. In one deep bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt and soda - mix well with a whisk until all ingredients are combined.

  2. Melt butter in a saucepan/microwave. Pour the oil into another deep bowl, where we will knead the dough. Add sugar to the butter and stir.

  3. Stir yogurt, egg whites and vanillin into the butter-sugar mixture (I used about 3-4 grams of vanilla essence)

  4. Mix all the ingredients until they are completely combined, you get this light airy mixture.

  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture and mix well. You will get a homogeneous, not very liquid, but not thick dough, as in the photo.

  6. Divide the dough into the molds, filling them ⅔ full. Here I always use disposable paper capsules; they are quite dense and hold their shape well, so you can bake in them without additional metal molds. There are such capsules as standard and bigger size. I had large capsules, it turned out that this amount of dough was enough for exactly 6 such capsules. If the capsules are standard, then there will be enough for 12 pieces.

  7. Bake the cupcakes in an oven preheated to 180 C for 20-22 minutes. A sign of readiness will be the risen cupcake caps and a slight blush. You can also check the readiness with a toothpick - it should come out dry. And keep in mind that you cannot overcook the cupcakes in the oven, otherwise they will become hard on the outside. This is what the finished cupcakes look like.

  8. While the cupcakes are cooking, make the cream. To do this, beat the butter at room temperature until creamy. You need to beat with a mixer at a speed above average for about 2-3 minutes.

  9. Then add powdered sugar, vanillin and whipping cream to the butter. Beat the mixture again at high mixer speed for at least 5 minutes.
  10. Cool the finished cupcakes. You can decorate them with cream right away, or first fill them with some jam, cream, fruit curd, etc., and then make cream caps. For the hats, I use a piping bag with a star tip. The most convenient way to fill the bag with cream is to insert the bag into a tall glass.

  11. We set the caps and decorated them with any sprinkles, maybe berries. This time I made cupcakes as a gift for my friend’s children - a boy and a girl. I made 3 cupcakes in pink and blue packaging, matching the decor to the color of the capsules, there are no limits to your imagination!
