Still don't understand what we're talking about? Of course, about the cupcake! And this article will talk about what cake dough is like, and all the intricacies of this baking.

A little history

According to history, the first semblance of a cake appeared in ancient Rome, when barley grains were made into flour and eventually mixed with pomegranate seeds, raisins or nuts. To achieve a sweet taste, honey was added to the dough. But such luxury was served only at the table of noble gentlemen.

Scientists believe that in those days the cake was more like a flat cake with with different fillings. It was only in the 16th century, when mass exports of sugar to Europe began, that cupcakes gained popularity. Since sugar reduces the rate of fermentation of fruits, such baked goods retained their taste for a long time. Until the end of the 19th century, cakes were baked in clay dishes, and only then did people learn to make aluminum molds.

To date classic dough for the cupcake has undergone various experiments. But this is only a plus for this type of baking. Next I would like to tell you what a simple muffin dough looks like.

Just doesn't mean it tastes bad

What do you need to make a simple cake batter? Nothing special, because the question itself reflects the ease of preparing this pastry. All products listed below must be room temperature!

Butter - 100 g;

Granulated sugar - 1 glass;

Eggs - 2 pieces;

Flour (sifted) - 2 cups;

Kefir - 0.5 cups;

Soda - 1 teaspoon;

A pinch of vanilla.

Sugar is thoroughly beaten with butter. After the oil gets White color and becomes fluffy, add all the other ingredients one by one (add soda at the end of whipping). Be sure to grease the mold with oil, pour the prepared dough into it and bake at temperature conditions 170 o C. For 40 minutes we go about our business, but do not forget to check the contents of the oven!

Features of preparing cupcakes

In general, in order to prepare cake dough, you do not need to graduate from any culinary institutions or courses. After all, technology does not cause any difficulties. But you should remember a couple of rules:

1. When preparing a cake, the dough must be kneaded quickly.

2. The temperature at which the cake will be baked is also important.

3. To prevent the dough from settling, it is PROHIBITED to open the oven for the first 15 minutes!

4. All products must be fresh.

5. Fruits must be thoroughly washed.

6. If jam or jam is used as a filling, under no circumstances should it be diluted with water.

Cupcakes

In fact, cupcakes are also a type of cupcake. You can use any kind of dough for cupcakes in molds. The most important thing here is to fill them out correctly with dough.

Since our dough will rise during baking, we fill them only ¾ full. But you should remember that the dough for cupcakes in paper molds should not be liquid. Since the paper will absorb all the dough liquid.

Silicone paradise

No, we will not talk about the miracles of plastic surgery. Silicone baking dishes are one of the ingenious and sought-after inventions in the kitchen of every housewife. Cooking cupcakes in them is pure pleasure. What should be emphasized: the dough for cupcakes in a silicone mold can be either liquid or thick.

If such a wonderful thing has appeared in your kitchen for the first time, then before using it you need to rinse it in water and then grease it with vegetable oil. Next time there is no need to lubricate it. Another big plus is that cake batter bakes in a silicone pan much faster than in an aluminum pan.
