Christmas party Cupcakes For The Red Door Cafe

Soft and colorful, cupcakes are the typical American cupcakes cooked in molds similar to those generally used to prepare muffins. Like muffins, cupcakes also come in various versions: all sweet versions, unlike muffins that can also be savory.

Basically, the recipe for cupcakes is always the same and it's pretty basic. To ingredients essential like sugar, butter, flour and eggs you can obviously add other ingredients to taste, depending on the variant of cupcake you have in mind. Yogurt is one of the best and simplest! Try them, they are
perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack.

But where does the name "cupcakes" come from? In all probability it comes from the past custom (the cupcakes are in fact a sweet with a long tradition behind it) of using the cups as a measuring instrument for the ingredients.

Step 1: Cut 100 g of butter into small pieces after allowing it to soften at room temperature. Then add the sugar and yogurt to the butter and work the three ingredients well, so as to obtain a homogeneous and creamy mixture.

Step 2: In a bowl, break and beat the eggs carefully and add them to the freshly prepared mixture, mixing well with a whisk.

Step 3: Finally, gently incorporate 225 g of flour, vanillin and baking powder. Knead everything again so that the ingredients blend perfectly.

Put sugar and butter in the bowl, operating at speed 3 for 4 minutes. Then add the eggs and let it run at speed 2 for 25 seconds. Once you have added flour and yeast, you have to work everything at speed 6 for half a minute. Then pour the milk (in the case of our yogurt recipe) and work at speed 5 for 25 seconds.
