Simple cupcake with raisins in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a simple cupcake with raisins in the oven? Prepare the products. Remove the raisins from the garbage and rinse thoroughly under running water. Unfortunately, there may be twigs in the raisins and, most unpleasant of all, even pebbles! Be extremely careful. Take the raisins without seeds. Choose high-quality butter, without vegetable additives, corresponding to GOST. Take it out of the refrigerator in advance so that the butter becomes soft.

2. Step 2:

   

   How to steam raisins properly? Pour well-washed raisins with hot water and leave for 10-15 minutes. During this time, it will become soft.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix softened butter with sugar and vanilla sugar using a mixer for five minutes at high speed. The oil should be very soft, but not liquid. Ideally, leave it at room temperature about half an hour before the start of cooking the cake.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash the eggs. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush. In a bowl with butter, beat the first egg. Reduce the speed of the mixer to the minimum. Beat until the eggs and butter are completely mixed.

5. Step 5:

   

   Enter the second egg. Mix at the lowest speed of the mixer. Eggs are injected one at a time specifically so that oil stratification does not occur.

6. Step 6:

   

   The third egg is next. Add a pinch of baking powder along with it. Beat the mass until completely homogeneous.

8. Step 7:

   

   Fold the raisins into a colander, and then put an even layer on paper towels. In this way, excess moisture will be absorbed, which is absolutely useless in the cupcake.

9. Step 8:

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve, and then add it to the dough in small portions. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baking will turn out to be airy and will rise well when baking. Flour may need a little more or a little less. Leave a tablespoon of flour for the raisins.

10. Step 9:

    

    Control the thickness of the dough with the amount of flour. It should become like thick sour cream.

11. Step 10:

    

    Add raisins to the dough. To prevent the raisins from settling when baking on the bottom of the cake, sprinkle it with a tablespoon of flour. Mix the dough well so that the raisins are evenly distributed over it.

12. Step 11:

    

    Transfer the finished mixture to a pre-greased form with sunflower or butter. Bake the cupcake for forty minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees. Check the readiness of the cake with a match or a wooden toothpick. If you stick it in the center of the product, then it should come out completely dry. In addition, the top of the cake should crack, and the crust should brown on all sides. Before serving, sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar. Enjoy your meal!
