But compared to other holiday baked goods, New Year's cake recipes are easier to prepare and less labor-intensive. Therefore, we will dwell on it in detail.
New Year's cupcake - cooking tips and secrets
- The main product that makes the cake crumbly and tender is butter. It is beaten or ground with sugar, and then eggs are introduced into the mass, which add air to the dough. When baked, it heats up, expands and raises the dough. The better the butter is whipped, the higher the cake will rise.
- As liquid products, sour cream, kefir, yogurt or milk are introduced into the dough, which are whipped into a fluffy foam. Then dry ingredients are gradually introduced into the dough: flour, vanilla, baking powder, soda. Do not knead the muffin dough for a long time, otherwise it will lead to increased gluten and the baked goods will turn out to be dense. All muffin products should be at room temperature, so remove them from the refrigerator beforehand.
- The spices used are cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, anise, almond flour, lemon and orange zest. The muffin is baked with the addition of a variety of products: jam, raisins, nuts, poppy seeds, dried apricots, prunes, candied fruits. Dried fruits and nuts for baking can be pre-soaked in rum, cognac or aromatic liqueur. On top, the confectionery product can be decorated with chocolate, fondant, icing, sweet syrup, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
- Many bakers add whipped whites to the finished dough to make the biscuit more fluffy. If you want to get more tender baked goods, replace the eggs with yolks, and to keep the cake fresh for a long time and not stale, use starch or ground nuts instead of 1/3 of the flour.
- The shape of the cake can be rectangular or round. Often there are products with a through hole. Also, muffins can be small portions. Cupcakes that are long, narrow and round with a hole in the middle are best baked and baked correctly. Before pouring into the dough mold, sprinkle the silicone container with flour, grease the metal and ceramic with butter and sprinkle with flour.
- Muffins are baked depending on the recipe: in a preheated oven at a temperature of 180 ° C to 200 ° C for up to 1 hour, in a slow cooker for 35-45 minutes.
- When baking a biscuit, do not open the oven and do not stir the baking dish. due to the temperature drop and unnecessary movements, it will settle.
- Check the readiness of the baking with a puncture with a dry wooden stick. There should be no sticking of dough on it. Stick a splinter in the middle of the pie, there the dough bakes more slowly than on the edge. If the inside of the cake is still damp, and a crust has already formed on the surface, which has begun to burn, cover it with paper and bake further.
