RASPBERRY/BANANA CUPCAKES

DAY BEFORE VALENTINE'S DAY I SPENT IN A KITCHEN - BAKING. I MADE MY FIRST CUPCAKES! THAT WAS SWEET GIFT FOR MY LOVE. I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT RECIPE.

INGREDIENTS FOR PIE:

250 G OF PLAIN FLOUR

6 TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR

4 TEASPOONS OF VANILLA SUGAR

2 TEASPOONS OF BAKING POWDER

PINCH OF SALT 

200 ML OF MILK (OR SODA WATER)

80 ML OF VEGETABLE OIL

2 EGGS

4 TABLESPOONS OF COCONUT 

2 BANANAS

250 G OF RASPBERRIES

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

• MASH BANANAS (YOU CAN USE A BLENDER)
• IN A BOWL, MIX DRY INGREDIENTS: FLOUR, SUGAR, VANILLA SUGAR, BAKING POWDER, COCONUT AND A PINCH OF SALT.
• IN ANOTHER BOWL, MIX BANANAS, MILK (OR WATER), OIL AND EGGS.
• SUCCESSIVELY MIX THE INGREDIENTS FROM BOTH BOWLS (DO NOT MIX TOO LONG, JUST UNTIL COMBINED).
• THE FORM FOR MUFFINS SMEAR BY MARGARINE OR PUT MUFFIN CUPS. I'VE USED DOUBLE FORMS.

• PUT THE DOUGH INTO FORMS. AT EACH MUFFIN PLACE PIECES OF RASPBERRY (JUST LIKE ON THE PHOTO BELOW).

• BAKE IN PREHEATED OVEN FOR ABOUT 20-25 MINUTES AT 200°C.

INGREDIENTS FOR FROSTING:

6 TABLESPOONS OF SOFT BUTTER

1 GLASS OF CASTER SUGAR

100 G MASCARPONE CHEESE

100 ML OF CREAM 35%

COLORANTS

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

• MIX THE CREAM TO STIFF, ADD BUTTER AND SLOWLY CASTER SUGAR WITH CONSTANT STIRRING.
• AT THE END ADD MASCARPONE CHEESE.
• DIVIDE MIXTURE IN SMALLER PORTIONS DEPENDING HOW MANY COLORS ARE WE USING.
• ADD COLORANTS AND MIX PROPER. 

DECORATE YOUR CUPCAKES WITH FROSTING BY USING SPECIAL SYRINGE. YOU CAN ALSO USE SOME CANDIES OR FLAKES.
