On Valentine’s day I made cupcakes, pink, of course. Three colors of pink :) Ok, the cupcakes in the pan look like something else, but I put frosting on them :) Then I added just a hint of color to 50 ml of sugar and mixed. It looks kind of nice to sprinkle it on top of the frosting. I put the cupcakes in the freezer, and that’s why the cupcake in the last picture looks very frozen..
The recipe is really simple and I made half of the batch, filled half of the paper forms with “white” batter, I then divided the rest of it in two bowls and added little red color to one, and slightly more to the other. I shouldn’t have added so much in the first on because the difference between the colors weren’t that big.
I used plastic bags, filled it with batter (the two colors of pink) and cut of one the corners (just a little piece) then you should stick it into the middle of the white batter and squeeze ;) then take the other plastic bag, cut of the corner, put it in the centre of the pink color and squeeze. This part is actually very funny..:)
When I do frosting I take 50 g of butter (put it in a bowl), add a little confections sugar, add 1 tablespoon of milk. Use an electric mixer and mix until smooth, add as much confections sugar as needed (until it’s smooth, but not too think). Done.
100 g butter
2 egg
150 ml sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla (or lemon juice, I used lime juice)
200 ml milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pu the oven on 200 degrees celsius. Melt the butter, then add the milk and let it cold. With an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the baking powder to the flour. With a spoon fold in the flour mixture and butter to the egg mixture. Done. Fill paper forms with the batter, preferably, use a muffin pan. Put in the oven for about 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry.
