Everyone knows that in a microwave oven you can prepare a cupcake in a matter of minutes. However, not all recipes offered by Google, allow you to get an aromatic and air cake on the way out.
But you definitely will succeed if you start to cook this yummy food with the recipes of the famous cook, author of books, Leslie Bilderbak. It turns out, it's real, to prepare a muffin in a cup in the microwave. The main thing is to do it right.
6 important tips for baking cupcakes in a cup
- Use a special flour. Or rather, prepare it in advance. To do this, mix 1 cup of flour of your favorite brand (wheat, rye and other), ¾ teaspoon baking powder and a pinch of salt. This is one of the components of an ideal microwave cake.
- From one egg we get two cupcakes. Making up a book of recipes, Leslie discovered that if you want to bake a cake, then it will be too much for him to have one egg, so all her recipes are designed to make you bake a cupcake in at least two mugs. By the way, use eggs medium, not large.
- Correctly fill the molds. Baking can be cooked in heat-resistant glasses, jars, ceramic and even in paper molds. The main thing is not to fill them more than half. Otherwise, during cooking, your cupcake will try to escape from your house.
- The cooking time. Always start with the smallest. So, began with a minute, check the readiness of the mini-pie. Each time, increase the cooking time by 15 seconds.
- For now, a golden crust. Know that in the microwave oven it is impossible to achieve such an appetizing golden top of the cake. Caramelization of sugar, namely it gives baking such an amazing appearance, occurs at a temperature of 160ºC. The microwave oven is capable of heating up to 100ºC. The main thing is to have your cakes ready inside. The top can be decorated with cream.
- Reducing the size of the cake. This is normal, if during cooking your yummy will "fall" a little. Because of this, do not get upset, but still, to prevent this, you should not fill more than half (see point number 3).
