A simple recipe for delicious vanilla cupcakes at home, step by step with photos. How to make the perfect cupcakes

  • Flour and sugar - a glass each,
  • Butter – 100 g,
  • Eggs – 2 pcs.,
  • Milk – 100 ml,
  • Baking powder – 1 sachet (can be replaced with 0.5 tsp soda),
  • Vanilla, cinnamon - to taste,
  • Chocolate bar for filling - optional.

Cooking process:

Cupcake dough is very similar to biscuit dough, but there is still a difference. In the biscuit, we first beat the eggs and sugar until foamy. But in cupcakes, butter and sugar are first creamed, and then the rest of the ingredients are added.

So, soft (not melted!) butter needs to be ground with sugar to form a paste.

Add eggs, cinnamon and vanilla, stir.

Mix flour with baking powder (soda) and add it to total mass, stir. At this stage, you can add flavorings (cinnamon or vanilla) to the flour, as well as cocoa if you are preparing chocolate dough. Pour in the milk in a thin stream, while continuously stirring the dough. You should get a homogeneous consistency.


Fill paper molds literally 2/3 full with dough, place a small piece of chocolate in the center and immediately place in a preheated oven. If you fill the molds to the brim, the dough will “escape” from them during baking and the paper form will be damaged. Cupcakes are baked for about 15-20 minutes. gas oven. An electric oven will take a little longer. The baking process and readiness of the cupcakes also depends on the size of the molds. We check by piercing a toothpick or a wooden stick. If it is dry and there is no dough on it, the baking is ready.


How to make cupcakes in a slow cooker

When for some reason there is no oven in the apartment, well, anything can happen in life, a multicooker will come to the rescue. Knead the dough according to the principle described above. We also put it into the molds, not forgetting about the filling volume.

Place paper or silicone molds in the cold bowl of the multicooker, close the lid and cook on the “baking” program.

How long does it take to bake? Since we preheat the oven in advance and use a cold slow cooker, the cooking time will be 40 minutes. The error is plus or minus 5 minutes, it all depends on the power of your multi-pan.

How to decorate

We must decorate the finished baked goods. Beautiful multi-colored mastic or cream caps are business card cupcakes. In addition to the cream, you can use homemade glaze and various confectionery toppings. We described how to make elastic mastic with condensed milk at home in one of the cake recipes on our website, but we won’t focus on this. You can go to the recipe itself and study everything in detail there if you like this type of decoration.

We will clearly show in the photo several design options. This universal option Suitable for almost any holiday:


And this way you can congratulate the family on christenings, name days or the baby’s birthday.


Below is the recipe for the cupcake cream.

Protein cream “wet meringue”

The recipe is worthy of attention. Holds its shape well, shiny, bright (especially when using food coloring), with a pleasant sourness, not cloyingly sweet. Raw whipped whites are heat-treated, so it can also be given to children (provided that your child is not allergic to chicken protein).

Ingredients for protein cream:

  • 4 chicken squirrels,
  • 200 g granulated sugar,
  • Crystalline citric acid - on the tip of a knife,
  • Food coloring - optional.

Making cream from whites

Separate the whites from the yolks. By the way, you can make good food from proteins custard without flour. Beat the egg whites and sugar with a mixer for 2-3 minutes. Then continue to beat in a water bath for 10 minutes, remove from the bath and beat for another minute so that the cream cools. At this point you can add coloring.

White cream without dyes looks very impressive!

How to beautifully decorate New Year's cupcakes with protein cream according to this recipe, you can clearly see in this photo.


Cupcake “Herringbone”:

The protein custard has green food coloring added to it, the top is decorated with colorful confetti sprinkles, and the top is decorated with a fondant star.


In the main photo, this Christmas tree is decorated with a miniature Santa Claus made of mastic (finished figurine).

By the way, blue spruces also look very original!

  • The oven must be preheated to the desired temperature before baking.
  • Carefully read the instructions on the packaging for the molds; some of them must be greased with butter. If you add cocoa powder to the dough, you will get chocolate cupcakes.
  • If you have little experience in baking, then you can start with the basic recipe, but the next step should definitely be preparing cupcakes with filling, it can be chocolate, berry, banana, etc.
  • Protein cream can be applied to hot muffins, but any cream or sour cream cannot. Wait for the cupcakes to cool.
  • If you don’t have time to fuss with cream or glaze, buy ready-made ones in a bag and prepare according to the instructions on the package.

How to eat a cupcake:
1. Choose a small cupcake that has more frosting than the others.
2. Remove part of the paper mold,
3. Take a bite.
4. Then try only the cream.
5. Repeat all over again as soon as there is nothing left from the first cupcake.

(from the Runet)

It won’t be difficult for a person, even someone who did poorly at school, to translate the word “cupcake” into Russian. Cup (cup) - cup, cake (cake) - cupcake. A cupcake the size of a cup is what a cupcake is. The fashion for bright sweets has taken over the whole world. And it all started in America in 1828, when a recipe for small cupcakes decorated with a top of cream was mentioned in the cookbook of E. Leslie, famous in the West. Over time it formed classic recipe, called “quarter” because it consisted of four ingredients: 1 cup. butter, 2 stacks. sugar, 3 cups. flour, 4 eggs.

In America, cupcake baking is treated with almost the same reverence as in Russia Easter cake. In no case should butter be replaced with margarine, the freshest eggs should be used, finely ground sugar, and all kinds of fillers, of which there is no limit - the most best quality, and all in order to end up with tender, melt-in-your-mouth delicacies. Decorating cupcakes is a separate topic. A cream hat or frosting with marzipan figures, thematic drawings or funny abstract patterns, chocolate, hearts, faces, butterflies and even miniature “teddy” bears made from cookies - all this variety will turn the head of any sweet tooth! Cupcakes are the perfect treat for an office party or buffet. Multi-tiered “cakes” made from cupcakes look no less elegant than monumental structures made from sponge cake and cream, and they are a pleasure to eat - they do not require dishes or cutlery and do not need to be cut.

With the arrival of microwave ovens in our kitchens, cupcakes began to be prepared again in the old-fashioned way - in mugs! Pour the dough into a suitable mug and set to bake at maximum power; 3-5 minutes is usually enough. But we'll talk about baking cupcakes in the oven. For baking cupcakes, special metal molds with a non-stick coating are designed so that the cupcakes can be removed from the molds without much difficulty. Silicone molds are much more convenient in this regard. Well, if we talk about the classics of the genre, then real cupcakes need to be baked in corrugated paper molds, which are inserted into denser ones (metal or silicone). Paper molds are also preferable because the cupcakes stay fresh longer in them, while the molds themselves become an additional decoration for the cupcakes and make their consumption more hygienic. The molds must be greased with oil and filled with dough to no more than ⅔ of the volume. At first glance, the dough for cupcakes is not much different from the dough for muffins, with the only difference being that muffins can be not only sweet, but also fresh and even salty, but cupcakes can never be. A cupcake is a mini cake, and that's it.

Enjoy your tea!

Hi all!
In this post, in my opinion, I will answer the most popular questions on my Instagram, as soon as I post a photo of cupcakes. I prepared this material for the winter issue of Russian Foodie and I was kindly allowed to post this article here, on the pages of my website.

Despite the apparent simplicity of cupcakes, many, when preparing them for the first time, are faced with a number of questions and difficulties. Most of all, of course, there are questions about the cream. Which is the most faithful and, I’m not afraid of this word, perfect recipe cream? So that it keeps its shape, lies flat and doesn’t let you down at the most crucial moment? Which attachment is best to use? How to use it? And many other questions to which today I will try to give comprehensive answers.

Let's start with the most basic thing, without which our cupcake would not exist. No cupcake base. Below is the most basic recipe for vanilla cupcakes. It is very versatile and you can make some substitutions and it will work every time. new recipe. For example, add lemon zest and blueberries for lemon blueberry cupcakes. Or replace a couple of tablespoons of flour with the same number of tablespoons of cocoa. Add nuts, berries or fruits. Space for your imagination.

I would be grateful for the mark #website when publishing your photos on social networks.

Ingredients

Ingredients: for 12 pcs.

Cupcakes:

  • 100 g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla sugar (or extract)
  • 100 g sifted flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 75 g heavy cream (33-35%)

Ingredients for cream:

  • 100 g butter room temperature
  • 120 g powdered sugar
  • 80 g cream cheese
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • a couple of drops of gel dye

Recipe

Preparing the cupcake base:

  1. Beat butter at room temperature with sugar for several minutes (depending on the power of your mixer) until the sugar has dissolved as much as possible.
  2. Add two eggs and vanilla sugar one at a time. Beat thoroughly.
  3. Sift the flour with baking powder and add to the dough. Mix.
  4. Add cream, mix again and ready dough Place in muffin tin. For convenience, put paper capsules in the mold, and put the dough in it to fill 2/3 of the mold.
  5. Place the cupcake base in an oven preheated to 180C for 20-25 minutes and bake until done. Check readiness with a wooden skewer or toothpick. Ready-made cupcakes should be allowed to cool completely before decorating them with frosting.

Preparation of cream:

Now let's move on to the most interesting part. To the cream. I'm convinced that best cream for cupcakes, which will lie beautifully and evenly and withstand any travel and temperature, will contain butter! I know that many are trying to avoid butter in cream recipes, guided by childhood memories of Soviet oil roses on cakes. But here everything is completely different. First, we will add cream cheese to the butter, which will hide the obvious taste of the butter. And, secondly, let's choose best oil what is sold in your store. Perhaps the quality of the oil is the guarantee that everything will turn out great! It should be greasy and should not separate when at room temperature. Before preparing the cream, it is better to remove the cream cheese and butter from the refrigerator at the same time so that they are at approximately the same temperature.

  1. Beat the butter until high speed mixer for a few minutes. During this time, the oil should become lighter and fluffier.
  2. Sift the powder thoroughly and add it all at once to the oil. And beat for 3-4 minutes maximum speed mixer. As soon as we add the powder, the butter will gather into lumps, but literally after a few seconds all the lumps will be visible and will be whipped into cream. The longer you beat the powder and butter, the lighter your cream will be. It is very important to take your time so that your cream does not have a yellowish tint.
  3. Add vanilla extract and cream cheese and beat again, but this time not for so long. Just until the mixture is well mixed.
  4. The cream is ready. Now you need to transfer it into a pastry bag with a nozzle and decorate the cupcakes.
