Kefir cupcakes/muffins - tips and tricks
- Before putting the dough into the molds, grease them and dust them with flour.
- Before adding berries and fruits to the dough, mix with flour or starch.
- Do not fill the molds to the brim with batter.
- You can decorate sweet muffins with powdered sugar or glaze, and sprinkle savory ones with sesame seeds.
- Do not knead the dough for too long, otherwise it will not rise.
- The main secret to making delicious and airy muffins is that the dough is whipped very carefully and quickly. Try mixing it from top to bottom using a whisk or blender - the dough should have a consistency similar to very thick sour cream.
- It is not recommended to open the oven during baking and move the pan, since sudden temperature changes and careless movements will cause the sponge cake to settle.
- Do not rush to remove the cake from the oven - wait until it cools, otherwise it will be difficult to remove from the pan.
Baking a fluffy cake with kefir and raisins
In the proposed recipe, raisins are added to the cupcake, which must be steamed in advance to make the dessert tasty. To do this, pour boiling water over the dried grapes and leave for 10 minutes. Buy kefir with a fat content of at least 2.5%.
In the summer, when there is an abundance of berries, you can add blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries instead of raisins. To prevent the dough from changing its structure due to the released juice, roll the berries in semolina. It will absorb excess liquid.
Required:
- Kefir – 230 ml.
- Vegetable oil – 90 ml.
- Baking powder – 12 g.
- Flour – 320 g.
- Sugar – 180 g.
- Chicken eggs – 2 pcs.
- Raisins – 50 g.
How to cook:
Break the eggs into a bowl. Add sugar. Beat until white. The process will take about 3 minutes.
Pour in kefir. Beat with a mixer.
Add flour passed through a sieve, then baking powder.
Mix thoroughly with a whisk. The mass should become completely homogeneous. There should be no lumps.
Pour in vegetable oil. Whisk.
Drain the liquid from the steamed raisins. Dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with a little flour. Stir. This preparation will help the raisins to be evenly distributed.
Add raisins to the dough. Stir. If desired, you can add candied fruits and nuts.
Line a cake pan with baking paper. Grease with vegetable oil.
Send to bake in the oven, which has been preheated to 180°C.
Cook for 50 minutes. Get it. Cool slightly.
If you start removing it from the mold immediately, the cake will become deformed.
Transfer to a plate. Sprinkle the cooled dessert with powdered sugar.
