Step 1
The metropolitan cupcake recipe includes the following ingredients: the wheat flour of the highest grade, high -quality butter, sugar, raisins (you can light or dark, but most importantly — without bones), chicken eggs (140 grams are about 3 eggs are smaller than average), lemon zest, cognac, brandy or not to use it completely), vanillin or 1 teaspoon. a spoonful of vanilla sugar, salt, as well as a baking powder of dough (how it is easy and easy to do at home, read here).
Step 2
First of all, we will prepare a dry mix. To do this, in a separate bowl, mix wheat flour, a pinch of fine salt and a baking powder of dough. We sift everything through a sieve to exclude lumps and additionally saturate the mixture with air.
Step 3
Put the soft into another dish (in a few hours, take it out of the refrigerator and let lie on the table at room temperature) butter, sugar and vanillin.
Step 4
Beat everything with a mixer or whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved, and the oil will not turn white and become more air (if I may say about butter). For example, a mixer at high speed should be whipped for at least 5 minutes, and with a whisk — even more. Then, in parts (best in three doses), add chicken eggs to the oil, whipping at high speed. With the last egg, put chopped (rub from lemon on a fine grater) lemon zest, if you want to add it.
Step 5
When the mixture becomes completely homogeneous, you can add raisins. It needs to be pre -prepared — be sure to my raisins and well dry with a cloth or paper towel. After that, pour cognac or other fragrant alcohol, but this is out of desperation. We give the raisher to absorb a drink into ourselves — we just leave for a couple of hours (so we prepare raisins in advance). You can generally fill in raisins with alcohol in the evening, put it in the refrigerator, and the next day the cupcake furnace.
Step 6
We intervene raisins in an oil base with a spoon or spatula. After that, in parts (for 3-4 doses), add a dry mixture from the step 2. We also interfere with the flour with a spatula or tablespoon.
Step 7
Literally in 10-15 movements you will get a homogeneous cupcop dough with a rattle of raisins. It is not necessary to mix for a very long time — as soon as all the flour is moistened, the dough is ready.
Step 8
We take a suitable volume form for baking (I have a disposable shape, with a capacity of 1 liter), lubricate it with soft butter (half of the teaspoon is enough — I did not indicate it in the ingredients) and sprinkle with wheat flour (overlords). We shift the dough and level it with a spoon or spatula.
Step 9
Now we make a deep cut (with a spatula or rounded knife) along the entire length of the dough to the bottom — to form this very characteristic crack. In general, I believe that this step can be neglected.
Step 10
We bake the metropolitan cupcake in a preheated oven at an average level of 20 minutes at 200 degrees. Then we reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and bake for about 40-45 minutes. We check the readiness with a wooden skewer or toothpick, which should get out of the dough completely dry. Let the pastries cool, and then sprinkle the surface with powdered sugar (through a sieve).
Step 11
Agree that the most delicious dishes are obtained according to the simplest recipes? The CEC of the capital is a clear proof of this. I probably wrote a lot, but the cooking itself is much faster, believe me. Enjoy appetite, my dear sweet tooth! By the way, there is an opinion that the metropolitan cupcake according to GOST can be stored for up to 30 days … Check?
