It is a recipe that I actually made today, but
I could not wait, so I am giving it to you warm from the oven.
I found some
forgotten cupcake paper shells in my kitchen (I wander how I can still loose
thing in this tiny space) and decided to try some chic desert with what I had
available.
Between
cooking and photos I already made my way in and ate a few small ones, enough to
save some for a pleasant Sunday meeting that I am planning for tomorrow. I hope not to finish them, or I will then eat
only salty stuff for the next month.
So, take my
advice and share some after cooking. But let’s move on.
What do you need
200g of
softened butter
1 ½ cups of
sugar
1 egg
1 spoon of
Bourbon vanilla sugar
2 spoons of
vanilla essence
1 spoon of
lemon essence
50 g of
almonds
1/3 cups of
yoghurt
1 cup of
self raising flour
How to prepare it
In a large
bowl, whisk 100g of butter with ½ cups of sugar until it becomes a soft light
cream.
Add the egg,
vanilla sugar and 1 spoon of vanilla essence and mix again.
Continue by adding
the yoghurt and flour and mix until obtaining a cream mixture
In a blender,
ground the almonds until they have the consistency of a coarse flour. Keep also
the tiny bits that remain, it will be nice to find them in the cupcakes.
Incorporate
the almonds in the mixture and distribute in 22-24 cupcake paper shells. Be
aware that, because of the almonds consistency the cupcakes will not grow
that much, so you can fill them almost
until the top.
Bake in the preheated
oven (160 0 C) for 15-20 minutes. Use a toothpick to test if they
are done (if by sticking a toothpick in one cupcake, the toothpick comes out
clean, then it is done)
Let them
cool completely outside of the oven.
In the
meantime, prepare the topping. In a small deep bowl, mix together the remaining
sugar, butter , the lemon essence and one spoon of vanilla essence.
When the
cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe the topping on as you wish and can. I have
to admit I need to improve my piping skills, so you should check me next time
for improvement.
So here you
are, you have your yoghurt almond cupcakes. Handle with care and eat with
friends!
Kisses
