Hello,darlings! On this cold Monday afternoon I thought about sharing another Cupcake recipe.I really like the taste of Lemon in a cupcake .This is perfect for enjoying on a hot summer afternoon on the beach with a glass of whatever you fancy :) But honestly,it's tasty no matter the season.
Now that I'm finally over with all the exams and have just started my 3 month long vacation,I will be cooking/baking more but most of all ,travel :) That's what summer is for.
Moving on now..this is what you need for your lovely lemon cupcakes:
- 250 grams of all- purpose flour(250 Grame faina)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder(1 lingura praf de copt)
- a pinch of salt( un varf de cutit de sare)
- 240 ml milk( 240 ml lapte)
- the zest of 2 lemons( coaja a 2 lamai)
- 60 ml lemon juice(60 ml suc de lamaie)
- 4 egg- whites( 4 albusuri)
- 300 grams of granulated sugar(300 grame zahar granulat)
- 115 grams of butter( 115 grame unt)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract( 1 lingurita extract de vanilie)
First of all,preheat your oven.I preheat mine a couple of minutes before putting the cupcake batter in because my oven doesn't show the temperature.(I have an ancient oven).
Steps:
- Mix the flour,baking powder and salt.(Amestecati faina,praful de copt si sarea)
- In another bowl,mix the milk,lemon juice and egg whites .(In alt vas,amestecati laptele,sucul de lamaie si albusurile)
- In bowl number 3,mix the lemon zest with the sugar.Add the butter,take a hand mixer and mix for about 3 minutes.Add the vanilla extract.(In vasul numarul 3,amestecati coaja de lamaie cu zaharul.Adaugati untul si amestecati cu mixerul in jur de 3 minute.Adaugati extractul de vanilie)
- In bowl number 3,pour one third of the flour and mix.Then pour one half of the milk-lemon juice-egg-whites mixture and mix yet again.Then pour another third of the flour,the other half of the milk mixture and finally the last part of the flour-baking powder-salt mixture.Make sure to mix well anytime you add .(In vasul #3,turnati o Treime Din faina si amestecati.Apoi turnati jumatate din amestecul de lapte ,suc de lamaie si albusuri si amestecati din nou.Turnati a doua treime din faina,cealalta jumate din lapte si la sfarsit ultima treime faina.Nu uitati sa amestecati bine dupa fiecare adaugare.)
- Mix everything one more time at the end.(Amestecati totul onca o data la sfarsit)
- Pour the batter in cupcake liners and put them in your preheated oven for about 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.( Turnati compozitia in hartii pentru briose si puneti-le in cuptorul preincalzit in jur de 18 minute sau pana cand scobitoarea iese curata)
Enjoy your cupcake!
