Vanilla cupcakes with cream

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make vanilla cupcakes with cream? Prepare the products. First for the test. Choose the highest quality butter corresponding to GOST. Take it out of the refrigerator in advance, the butter should completely soften by the beginning of cooking. Vanilla sugar can be replaced with vanilla, but then take it on the tip of a knife, as it is very concentrated and bitter in large quantities.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put the soft butter in a bowl, pour sugar into it. Start beating butter with sugar with a mixer. In the process, add vanilla sugar. I have it with natural vanilla, so it's black. Beat the butter until a fluffy light mass, but no more than 3 minutes, as the oil may begin to delaminate.

3. Step 3:

   

   Without stopping whipping, enter the eggs into the mass one by one. It is more convenient to do this by breaking them in advance into a separate cup. After each egg, mix the mixture well.

4. Step 4:

   

   Beat until the butter-egg mass is completely homogeneous.

5. Step 5:

   

   Sift the flour, add baking powder and a pinch of salt to it. Salt in sweet pastries acts as a flavor enhancer. Mix the bulk products. Pour half of the flour into a bowl, mix it well with a mixer or whisk, it does not matter anymore.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour in the milk, stir again.

7. Step 7:

   

   Add the rest of the flour to the dough and knead it completely until smooth and smooth.

8. Step 8:

   

   Take suitable cupcake molds. They can be silicone, iron or separate from thick paper, like mine. Paper inserts are usually placed in the molds when baking cupcakes, so that they are easier to take out. Besides, it's beautiful. Spread the dough into molds, for each about a tablespoon. I got 10 pieces, the size of my molds is 4.5 cm .

9. Step 9:

   

   Preheat the oven to 170 ° C, I have an electric, top-bottom mode. Put the cupcakes to bake. The baking time is 20-30 minutes, focus on the features of your oven. Mine were baked for 25 minutes. Cupcakes will grow a lot and become golden. Remove the finished cupcakes from the oven and cool. In principle, they are already ready for use, but cupcakes are usually decorated with fluffy cream caps.

11. Step 10:

    

    Prepare the cream for the hats. How to make a cream? I will make a cream based on cream cheese and butter. Butter for making cream should be of the best quality, corresponding to GOST. The cheese is creamy, without any additives, and by no means melted! Add food coloring if desired, I wanted a two-color cream. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it softens well. The cheese should also be warm.

12. Step 11:

    

    Put the soft butter in a bowl, add powdered sugar to it. It is better to use powder, not sugar, since the powder will dissolve better and will not be felt on the teeth. Beat the butter and powder with a mixer until fluffy. And beat again for 3 minutes to prevent the oil from delaminating.

13. Step 12:

    

    Add cheese to the butter.

14. Step 13:

    

    Whisk cream and cheese until smooth. The cream is ready, I advise you to cool it a little, half an hour is enough for the cream to stabilize a little. But not longer, otherwise it will be difficult to work with him.

15. Step 14:

    

    Separate a small part of the cream, add the dye to it. I have a red food gel. Stir until smooth.

16. Step 15:

    

    Take a pastry bag, spread the colored cream on the walls of the bag. And put a white cream in the center. With such a styling, the cream will lie down with a beautiful gradient when squeezed out.

17. Step 16:

    

    Decorate the completely cooled cupcakes with cream using a pastry bag. I have a nozzle "star". There are many decoration options, you can use different nozzles and colors of creams.
