A quicky update: Part 2
7 Dec
Okay…so, continuing from the last post.
After coming back from Malaysia, life went back to normal. I did miss home for awhile though. Coming back from Malaysia with just my daughter (my husband had to go back a week before) was, I could say, not so bad either. It was a night flight so she slept most of the time, and because we’re so used to traveling together, the 2 of us, so everything went quite well.
(マレーシアから帰ってきたら毎日の生活が普段通りに戻りました。確かにちょっとしか帰ってなくて、最初は寂しくて、ちょっぴりホームシックになったが。。まぁ、これは毎回のことですけどね(笑)でもしばらくしたら、またもカップケーキを焼く日に戻りました)
So, after dealing with some personal stuff, I finally had some time to bake again, and since I didn’t have any particular order from anybody, I started to play again with some new flavors.
What I did next was White Cake Cupcake. I had some whipped cream at that time and flavored it with almond extract. Also, because I thought the cupcakes looked rather bare..I couldn’t resist but to draw these cute faces on top of them.
Aren’t they adorable?
(こちらのカップケーキはホワイトケーキからできていて、トッピングはアーモンドエッセンスで味付けしたホイップクリーム。最初の見た目はやっぱり、何か足りないのでは。。って思ってついつい顔を書いてしまいました(^^)可愛いでしょう?)
As for the recipe, here it is:
Ingredients:
makes 8-10 mini cupcakes
50g soft butter (柔らかくしたバター)
70g flour (薄力粉)
20g corn flour (コーンスターチ)
50g sugar (砂糖)
1 egg white (卵白)
2 tbsp (大さじ) cream/milk (牛乳/生クリーム)
1 tsp (小さじ) baking powder (ベーキングパウダー)
a pinch of (一つまみ) salt (塩)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees.(オーブンを160度に余熱しておく)
- Mix everything in a bowl and using your mixer, mix it at high for about 1 – 1 1/2 minutes. (全ての材料をボールに入れて、ハンドミキサーで1分-1分半ぐらいHIGHでかける)
- Divide batter and bake for 20 minutes.(混ぜた材料をカップケーキ型に分けて,予熱した160度のオーブンに18-20分ぐらい焼く)
- Leave cupcakes to cool and pipe on some whipped cream that you’ve flavored with almond extract/essence.(焼いたカップケーキを冷め、上にアーモンドエッセンスに味付けたホイップクリームをのせて完成です!)
It’s fairly simple, this recipe. And I plan to fill the cupcakes with some sort of fruit puree the next time I make them
