Mint cupcake

To prepare this delicious and aromatic home cake, we will need the following ingredients: wheat flour, granulated sugar and granulated sugar, butter, chicken eggs, milk, fresh mint, zest and lemon juice, baking powder and salt (the aromatizer was mistaken). All products should be at room temperature.

Immediately turn on the oven heat (180 degrees). We sift 270 grams of wheat flour into a separate dish (I take the highest grade). Add 2 teaspoons of dough baking powder (you will find a detailed dough recipe here) and a pinch of salt to balance the taste.

We mix everything well that the baking powder with salt evenly diverged flour.

Fresh mint, dry. We need only leaflets (30 grams), which are crushed with a knife.

Now we pour 170 grams of sugar into the tank for whipping. Add a teaspoon of grated lemon zest to it. The zest is the upper layer of the peel of the yellow lemon.

We carefully rub the mixture so that the zest gives the maximum aroma. Next we put 150 grams of butter. It should be soft, so a few hours before cooking take it out of the refrigerator and put it on the table.

Beat oil with aromatic sugar until smooth and partial dissolution of sweet grains. My planetary mixer works at maximum speed for 10 minutes. Then we drive 3 eggs one at a time (when one is completely connected to the mass, add the following).

Pour 80 milliliters of milk into the mixture and mix everything.

Pour the flour mixture from step 3 and quickly interfere with the liquid base.

The result is a smooth and homogeneous creamy consistency dough. Add chopped mint.

Once again, we mix everything well — the dough for lemon cupcake with mint is ready.

It is advisable to lubricate the baking dish with vegetable oil without smell. I did not indicate him in the ingredients (enough for literally a teaspoon). The dimensions of my rectangular: 24×11 centimeters — at the top, 21×8 centimeters — at the bottom, height — 6.5 centimeters. We spread the dough, level it and send to the heated oven to bake at 180 degrees for about 50-60 minutes.

We check the readiness of the cupcake with a wooden skewer or toothpick (it should get out of the dough absolutely dry).

While cooling the cupcake, we will prepare sugar icing. To do this, we need sugar powder (70 grams) and lemon juice (1 tablespoon).

We put everything in a bowl.

Rub the fork until the sugar powder completely dissolves. Glaze density can easily be adjusted by adding powder (if too liquid) or lemon juice (in case of too thick).

Water the cooled cupcake with lemon glaze.

If desired, you can additionally decorate the pastries of lemon slices and fresh mint leaves.
