Рецепт Moist Strawberry Cupcakes
Mother's Day is just around the corner, that is exactly two days away and many of you are still busy thinking what gifts to get for your mom to show how much you love her. I'm sure your mom will appreciate anything you get for her. Besides sending flowers and gifts, why not also bake a cake that your mom would enjoy. Here is a very moist and delicious (no egg yolks) strawberry cupcake recipe which I want to share with you. These cupcakes are wonderful when served warm for firstly you get to taste the crispy crust and at the same time enjoy the soft texture of the cake....heavenly! I also played with fondant a little, made some roses and leaves, then decorated them on the cake. If you think that making fondant flowers are too time consuming, why not frost the cake with cream cheese and insert a cupcake topper on top. I'm sure you mom will be very pleased and impressed :)
Moist Strawberry Cupcakes
- 2 1/2 tbsp Strawberry jam (from Mark and Spencers)
- 80 - 100g Fresh strawberries, chop to small pieces
- 150g Plain flour
- 1 1/4 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 100g Sugar (already reduced)
- 125g Butter, softened
- 3 Egg whites (used large egg at 70g each), lightly beaten
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 drops of rose pink food colouring
- 70g Full cream milk/whipping cream
Method:
Preheat oven to 180C. Position a rack in the middle of the oven.
Sieve plain flour, baking powder and salt together, set aside.
Beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy at medium speed.
Add egg whites, vanilla extract and food colouring, and beat until combined. (the mixture will look rather waterly at this stage). Scrape bowl down with a rubber spatula.
Add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with milk in two additions, beating on low speed until just combined.
Scrape bowl and fold in the strawberry jam with a rubber spatula until just combined and lastly add in the chopped strawberries.
Fill batter into your cupcake liners to 3/4 full. Bake for 25 minutes, until centers bounce back when touched or when skewer inserted in center comes out clean.
Decorate the cake as desire.
Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!
