Lean Mojito Cupcake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the ingredients

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash and dry the mint leaves. Place mint leaves together with sugar in a blender bowl and chop. If you want to cook this cupcake in winter, instead of fresh mint, you can add 3 teaspoons of dried mint, but the taste will be completely different. Transfer the sugar mint to a deeper bowl and add vegetable oil, whole lime zest, juice of half a lime and a glass of sparkling water. It is better to take highly carbonated water for this recipe, then we will lift the cupcake

3. Step 3:

   

   Let's mix everything thoroughly and take care of the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, sift the flour and baking powder. Combine the dry and liquid ingredients and mix, the dough should turn out like pancakes. Lightly lubricate the baking dish with vegetable oil and pour the dough into it. We send the form to a preheated 180 degree oven for 40-45 minutes. We check the readiness of the cake with a match or a toothpick.

5. Step 4:

   

   Let the finished cupcake cool down and prepare the lime glaze. To do this, add the juice of the second half of the lime to the powdered sugar in portions and mix. Add lime not all at once, a few drops at a time, otherwise the glaze may become too liquid, sometimes the juice of not half, but a fourth part of lime is enough. Carefully rub with a spoon, and when the mass becomes homogeneous, opaque and white, the glaze is ready.

   Lime glaze is applied on top of the cooled cupcake and served to the table.
