Because of the upcoming Valentine's Day I decided to make some sweet deliciousness... after all according to old polish saying - the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!
Here is the recipe:
INGREDIENTS
Muffins
• 2 eggs
• 250 g sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
• a pinch of salt
• 4 spoons cacao
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 200 g flour
• 100g butter
Icing
• 100g butter
• 100g cream cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• App. 400 g castor sugar, sifted
• 250 g fresh raspberries
TECHNIQUE
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
2. Place all of the ingredients for muffins in a bowl. Mix between adding each ingredient.
3. When the mixture is smooth, pour it evenly into paper liners in a muffin tin.
4. Bake for 10 minutes (check with a stick or a fork if they are still wet inside, if yes then leave for a bit longer in the oven).
While the muffins are baking prepare the icing.
5. Mix raspberries with a blender (save some for decorating).
6. Beat butter with cream cheese, add vanilla extract, sugar. Keep on beating until smooth.
7. Whisk in the mixed raspberries.
8. When the muffins are ready, let them cool down.
9. Cover the top of the muffins with the icing using a piping bag with a thick tip.
10. Place a full raspberry on the top of each cupcake.
