Step cooking
- In a bowl of the mixer we break 2 eggs, 180 g of sugar and beat at high speed until light and fluffy. To the beaten eggs add vanilla sugar or 1 tsp. vanilla extract.
- Next, add one teaspoon of red food gel dye.
- Pour 180 ml of kefir at room temperature into the bowl, add 2/3 tsp. soda and mix. The reaction will go.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Sift 220 g flour and 10 g cocoa into a bowl. We sift cocoa so that there are no lumps in the dough. To a mixture of flour and cocoa add 2/3 tsp baking powder and mix everything with a whisk until smooth.
- Add 120 ml of sunflower oil to kefir and mix.
We set the mixer speed to minimum and now we will add, alternating with each other dry and liquid ingredients, starting and ending with flour. At the end of kneading with a spatula, carefully remove the remaining dough and dry mixture from the walls of the mixer bowl, and mix well. The result should be a homogeneous dough of a rich red color.
- Now we can start baking. We put paper capsules in the cupcake mold and fill them with a tablespoon and spatula a little more than half. The dough rises very well.
- Bake cupcakes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Readiness check with a toothpick. Inserted into the center of the cupcake, it should come out dry and clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in shape for 5 minutes, then remove them to the grill and completely cool. It is convenient to remove them from the mold using two orange sticks.
- Baked cupcakes turned out to be tender and porous. Cream cheese-based creams are ideal for these cupcakes. For the first of them, in a deep glass bowl, mix 300 g of very cold cream cheese, 100 g of powdered sugar and beat with a mixer, literally a minute, until smooth. Then add 100 ml of ice cream with a fat content of 33-35%, and beat with a mixer at high speed.
- Gradually, you will notice how the cream will thicken and the cream will become more dense. This cream is very tender.
- For the second version of the cream, denser, we need to mix 100 g of very soft butter and 100 g of powdered sugar and beat at high speed mixer until light and fluffy. Then add 300 g of very cold cream cheese, and beat until smooth.
- To set the cream, use the nozzle "Open Star". For the convenience of applying the cream, put the pastry bag in a tall glass and turn the edges off. We apply the cream with a spatula and gradually move it closer to the nozzle. Tightly twist the bag.By clicking on the bag, we place on the cupcakes a cream in the form of flowers or a volume slide with a peak.
- One of the cupcakes can be broken and decorate the cream with red crumbs.
