Recipe: Cupcake with strawberry inside
Made Cupcake for joyceey's birthday and I didn't took any picture but I have my own modified recipe, because I wanted to bake 12 cupcakes at a go instead of 6, and I didn't just double up the ingredient used. I did some mistake, but it still taste nice (Y) ! Not only what I say okay ! hahahs ! Leggo~
Ingredient for the cupcakes:
3 cups of all purpose flour
3 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of unsalted butter (I just use all the unsalted butter in the packaging of "star") at room temperature
1 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of normal milk (if you want, you can put strawberry-flavored milk as it goes well with the strawberry theme, but I don't like strawberry milk X.X) hahas
For butter cream icing or frosting
2 cups of icing sugar
1 cup of unsalted butter
12 strawberries
1 teaspoon of coloring or vanilla extract
1/2 up of heavy cream
(if you want to have a chocolate flavored frosting, try adding 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder)
Directions
Making the cup cakes:
1) preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup jumbo muffin pan with paper liners.
2) Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
3) Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the vanilla.
4) Reduce the speed of the mixer, beat in the flour mixture in 3 batches, added the first two batches of the flour first, then add in the milk, and end with the last batch of flour mixture, until it's combined together.
5)Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes; 175 degrees. To ensure the cupcakes are fully baked, use a toothpick pop it through, the toothpick should comes out clean. Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
6) Using a small knife, cut a cone-shaped piece of cake out of the top of each cupcake in the middle. Then stuff with the strawberries, try to use the small and thin ones. Then cover with a small piece of the removed cake. [ the leftovers, don't waste it and put inside your mouth :O ]
Making the frosting:
1) Separate the icing sugar, cream into two bowl.
2) Sift half of the icing sugar with unsalted butter, and 1.4 cup cream and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until sooth.
3) Add the remaining sugar and 1/4 cup cream and the food coloring or vanilla extract, beat until fluffy.
4) Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe onto the cupcakes.
Note: The frosting should be hard instead of soft, if it's too soft, add more icing sugar.
P.S/ Good luck for some yummy cupcakes !
