    Prepare the baking dish. Any heat-resistant form is suitable for this recipe. If you use a silicone mold, then you do not need to smear it with oil. But it is better to lightly lubricate metal, ceramic or glass dishes with vegetable oil so that the baking does not burn. Pour the dough into the mold. Mine is 20*9 cm in size. But the dough turned out much more, I baked two more small cupcakes. I think that this amount of products will be enough for two of my forms.

    Step 12.

    Bake the cupcake in the oven, preheated to 180 ° C, top-bottom mode, for about 40-50 minutes. When the top layer of baking is slightly browned, check it for readiness: pierce it with a wooden skewer in several places, if the skewer comes out dry, then the mold (or baking sheet) can be taken out of the oven. Cool the finished cupcake and remove it from the mold. You can sprinkle it with powdered sugar.

We really liked the cupcake, candied fruits decorated it and enriched the taste. But instead of them, you can safely use any dried fruits. Feel free to divide the amount of dough in half, just get an average cupcake.

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.

Butter can be melted in the microwave or in a water bath. How to melt butter in the microwave?  Cut the butter into small pieces and place it in a special container. To prevent the oil from splashing when heated, cover the oil vessel with a paper towel. The oil should be melted either at the lowest power or in defrosting mode. At first, five seconds will be enough. Next, if the butter has not melted yet, set it again for 5 seconds and start the microwave. Repeat the process several times until the desired result.
How to melt butter in a water bath? You will need two containers of different diameters. Pour water into a large one and put it on the stove. Place the smaller container on top so that it is submerged in water by about half. Put the sliced butter into it. Under the influence of boiling water, the oil will begin to melt. Stir the oil slightly to speed up the process. As soon as the pieces of oil are completely dissolved, remove the container from the stove.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
