Recipe for making cupcakes at home

While preparing the dough mix dry ingredients first, and then add a mixture of liquid to them. Butter cream needs to be taken out of the refrigerator a little in advance so that it softens.

But the main thing is not to overdo it. If the butter is too soft, the cream will flow and it will not work. It is better to immediately transfer the finished cream into a pastry bag and put in the fridge.

If you do not have cream, you can use them in the dough replace with regular milk. Before baking, press the center of each cupcake a little so that they do not rise too much, this will make it easier to spread the cream. Decorate only well-cooled products, otherwise the cream or icing will melt and ruin the pattern, remember this.

Fillings for cupcakes from condensed milk, sour cream and banana

As already mentioned, there are many filling options. Let's look at a few of them. For cupcakes with banana filling we need 2 ripe bananas, 100 g of cream (approximately 33% fat), 4 tsp. powdered sugar. Mash the banana with a fork or blender until pureed, add powdered sugar and cream, mix. The filling is ready.

Another tasty option condensed milk filling. You can use boiled condensed milk toffee or regular. If you use ordinary condensed milk, put not a spoonful of dough into the mold, but fill almost half.

To prevent the condensed milk from spreading, make a small indentation in the middle with a spoon, into which pour the filling with another spoon.

For those who do not like very sweet, suitable cupcakes with sour cream filling. This is one of the simplest fillings: we take 400 g of thick sour cream, 160 g of powdered sugar, you can add vanilla on the tip of a knife, beat until a fluffy mass is obtained. In this cream, you can replace part of the sour cream with cottage cheese, rubbed through a meat grinder, or mascarpone cheese.

Despite its tiny size, cupcakes are in no way inferior to full-fledged classic cakes. Biscuit can be chocolate, peanut, strawberry, banana or vanilla. Additives are also very different - from raisins to chocolate chips and fruits. The obligatory air cap of cream, cream cheese, meringue, whipped cream, ganache or mastic crowns the cake. At this stage, the chef shows all his imagination: you can decorate the cupcake with candied flowers, beads, fashion a company logo or a cartoon character - a real scope for creativity! Mini cakes help create a festive atmosphere: for St. Patrick's Day, it is appropriate to make cupcakes in the form of green shamrocks, for Halloween - with the image of Jack O'Lantern, and for the New Year - in the form of a Christmas tree.

The fashion for cupcakes has also migrated to wedding tables. Newlyweds often order multi-tiered masterpieces of artfully decorated mini cupcakes instead of the traditional cake. Such an individual dessert surpasses its large counterpart: it looks beautiful and is more convenient to eat - after all, each guest gets a separate cake. You can bake cupcakes both in coffee or tea refractory cups, and in silicone molds or in multi-colored corrugated paper molds. The latter are sold in large supermarkets.

Cupcakes are often confused with another type of miniature pastry - muffins. They are both dessert (with the addition of blueberries, raspberries, cherries, cinnamon) and snack bars (with pumpkin, zucchini, carrots). The difference between cupcakes and muffins is that the attribute of the former is a generous portion of cream and the most delicate porous biscuit, and the latter is a swollen, hanging dough cap and a denser texture. By the way, even in the world of wizards, muffins are respected: it is known for certain that on the way to school, Harry Potter ate pumpkin muffins, which in the fairy-tale world are sold only on the Hogwarts Express.
