Apple and Walnut Cupcakes | |
according
to my family, these were the best flavour of cupcakes i've made yet.
however, they said something quite similar for the next bake i did,
lemon and cranberry cupcakes!!! that being said, i did enjoy them alot too. they were lovely and sticky, and we all thought they would be better without icing so i just left them as they were. they're lovely eaten warm, so you could pop one in the microwave for a few seconds. yum. Ingredients 80g unsalted butter 280g caster sugar 240g plain flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon 240ml milk 2 large eggs 2 granny smith apples 50g chopped walnuts Method
600g icing sugar 100g unsalted butter 250g cream cheese (preferably full fat if you can bear it!) ground cinnamon for dusting using a hand held electric whish or a freestanding electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the icing sugar with the butter on a low speed until sandy in texture and no large lumps of butter are left. add the cream cheese and mix on a medium speed until the frosting is smooth, light and fluffy. when the cupcakes feel cold to the touch, spread the frosting on them smoothing and swirling the surface with a palette knife. dust with cinnamon. |
![]() i'll admit in this picture, i didnt fill up the paper cases enough so it made quite alot, and i ended up having to cut the tops off the cases after baking.. so dont make that mistake! fill them generously to about 3/4 full and you will still get about 18 out of it. |
