houses! From

After tasting those of Berko ( I told you here), I wanted to get into the preparation of cupcakes. I first tried a recipe found on the internet with the following glaze:

Buttercream Vanilla

For 250 300 g icing
100 g very soft butter
400 g sugar 60 g

cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract liquid

Mix the butter with half the icing sugar with electric mixer for 30 seconds then add the cream and vanilla extract.
Mix on medium speed for 4 minutes until well blended and creamy.
Add the remaining icing sugar gradually, stirring about 1 minute between each addition. Continue beating until the icing is the ideal consistency for easy spreading.

And then a few days ago, I found a new book at Virgin and I wanted to try again. With the recipe for this basic dough, cupcakes are much less fat than the recipe I used previously. This time I opted for a mascarpone frosting, less fat than butter cream.

dough cupcakes basic

For 12 large cupcakes

2 large eggs 120 g butter, very soft 4 tablespoons
milk (5 th)

140 g flour 100 g caster sugar 2 teaspoons shaved
baking powder (½ bag )
1 pinch salt 1 teaspoon
vanilla extract liquid

Preheat oven 180 ° C ( th. 6)
Mix butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale preparation.
Add the eggs one by one, then the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix well then add milk and flavoring of your choice.
Place paper liners in each cell of your muffin pan. Place 2 tablespoons batter in each tray. Bake for 20 minutes.
Let cool before filling the icing of your choice.

Mascarpone Frosting

300 g mascarpone
10 cl
full cream 50 g sugar ice
3 packets of vanilla sugar 1 teaspoon
vanilla extract liquid

Using an electric mixer, beat the mascarpone with the icing sugar, vanilla sugar and vanilla extract. Gradually add cream, beating at low speed to prevent the mixture into butter.

In Cupcakes, Estérelle Payany ( Solar Editions)

The two books offer plenty of opportunities, both sweet and savory. I'd be tempted to try soon cupcakes, carrot or zucchini ones. Stay tuned ...

In any case, this is not the cat that will tell me to stop my experiences (or the Parisian also amenable to testing with great pleasure! ). He also breached a taboo to succumb to her delight that both titillated the nostrils for a while!

And you, have you ever tried it ?
