Cupcake is a very popular confection that is served at tea parties, weddings and other special occasions. For the first time, the idea of making the so-called cup cake appeared more than 200 years ago in the USA. From there the Milk Silk cupcake recipe came to us.
What is a cupcake?
A cupcake is a small cake with a certain filling, which is decorated with icing, fruit or cream. It is usually baked in silicone, paper or aluminum molds. Actually, aluminum molds are practically not used lately. Cupcake should not be confused with muffin or muffin. It's more of a mini cake. Such a culinary product is always prepared from biscuit dough.
The very first cupcake recipe was written at the end of the eighteenth century by an American chef. It involves baking a small cake in a cup. But gradually the demand for cupcakes grew, new, interesting recipes began to appear. Such a cake called "Milk Silk" is now considered especially popular.
Milk Silk Cupcake Recipe
To make a cupcake, you will need: 12 molds made of silicone or special thin paper, premium flour, baking powder, vanilla, sugar, milk powder, butter, eggs, cream, cream or icing.
First you need to sift 100 grams of flour and add a little baking powder, sugar, milk powder and a teaspoon of vanilla. All this should be thoroughly mixed. Then add about 80 grams of butter to this mass and grind it. Be sure to mix everything until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Now pour in 100 ml of heavy cream there and break one egg.
For further actions, you will need a mixer. Mix the resulting mass in it at a slow speed. But you should not beat it. The dough should be very tender and soft. After preparing the dough, divide it into 12 tins. Here it must be borne in mind that in the oven, the dough can flow out onto the baking sheet. Therefore, try to fill the forms up to half.
It is recommended to preheat the oven to 180 ° C. It is necessary to bake cupcakes no more than twenty minutes. You will need a toothpick to check if the cakes are ready. Poke each cupcake gently into it. If the toothpick remains dry, the product is ready. All that remains is to remove the cupcakes from the oven and cover them with cream or icing.
For the icing, mix a small amount of lemon juice with powdered sugar. Cover the icing on the cupcakes and wait for it to dry. The resulting products can be used as wedding cupcakes. They are very delicate and just melt in your mouth.
