Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make vanilla cupcakes with cream? Prepare your food. First for the test. Choose the highest quality butter that complies with GOST. Remove it from the refrigerator in advance; the butter should be completely softened by the time you start cooking. Vanilla sugar can be replaced with vanillin, but then take it on the tip of a knife, as it is very concentrated and tastes bitter in large quantities.

Step 2

Step 2
Place soft butter in a bowl and add sugar. Start beating the butter and sugar with a mixer. Add vanilla sugar during the process. I have it with natural vanilla, so it’s black. Beat the butter until fluffy and light, but no more than 3 minutes, as the butter may begin to separate.

Step 3

Step 3
Continuing to beat, add the eggs one at a time. It’s more convenient to do this by breaking them into a separate cup in advance. After each egg, stir the mixture well.

Step 4

Step 4
Beat until the butter-egg mixture is completely homogeneous.

Step 5

Step 5
Sift the flour, add baking powder and a pinch of salt. Salt in sweet baked goods acts as a flavor enhancer. Mix bulk products. Pour half the flour into a bowl, mix it well with a mixer or whisk, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour in the milk and stir again.

Step 7

Step 7
Add the rest of the flour to the dough and knead it until it is smooth and homogeneous.

Step 8

Step 8
Take suitable cupcake pans. They can be silicone, iron or separate from thick paper, like mine. When baking cupcakes, paper liners are usually placed in the pans to make them easier to remove. Plus itʼs beautiful. Divide the batter into the molds, about a tablespoon per cup. I got 10 pieces, the size of my molds is 4.5 cm.

Step 9

Step 9
Preheat the oven to 170°C, I have an electric oven, top-bottom mode. Place the cupcakes to bake. Baking time is 20-30 minutes, depending on the features of your oven. Mine took 25 minutes to bake. The cupcakes will rise greatly and become golden. Remove the finished cupcakes from the oven and cool. In principle, they are already ready to eat, but cupcakes are usually decorated with lush cream caps.

Step 10

Step 10
Prepare the cream for the caps. How to make cream? I will make a cream based on cream cheese and butter. Butter for making cream must be of the best quality, complying with GOST. The cheese is exactly creamy, without any additives, and in no case processed! Add food coloring as desired, I wanted a two-color cream. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it softens well. The cheese should also be warm.

Step 11

Step 11
Place soft butter in a bowl and add powdered sugar. It is better to use powder rather than sugar, as the powder will dissolve better and will not be felt on the teeth. Beat the butter and powder with a mixer until fluffy. Beat again for 3 minutes to prevent the butter from separating.

Step 12

Step 12
Add cheese to butter.

Step 13

Step 13
Beat the cream and cheese until completely smooth. The cream is ready, I advise you to cool it a little, half an hour is enough for the cream to stabilize a little. But not longer, otherwise it will be difficult to work with him.

Step 14

Step 14
Separate a small part of the cream and add dye to it. I have red food gel. Stir until the color is uniform.

Step 15

Step 15
Take a pastry bag and spread the colored cream along the sides of the bag. And put white cream in the center. With this styling, the cream will form a beautiful gradient when squeezed out.

Step 16

Step 16
Decorate the completely cooled cupcakes with cream using a pastry bag. I have a star attachment. There are many decoration options; you can use different attachments and colors of creams.

Step 17

Step 17
Decorate the cream caps with berries and mint leaves if desired. Serve to the table. Bon appetit!
