Strawberry Cheese Cupcakes!


Dono where or why i got this sudden urge to bake. 
i even made a to-bake list during my study week lolol. 
So papa got me a new oven and i haven't stop baking ever since the day it was delivered to my house.
And there's a whole chicken currently roasting in the oven when i'm typing this hahah!


The first item in my list is...

TADA!

Niceornotniceornotniceornot???

OK dont jealous. i will share the recipe here (Got it from other website also).
There are three parts in the recipe: Crust, batter, frosting.

For crust, the ingredients needed are:
Digestive cracker crumbs
125g of butter
3 tbs of granulated sugar

Preheat the oven to 170 C.

Mix the crumbs and sugar and butter. 

Press into cupcake liners with fingers and bake for 3-5 minutes until slightly brown.
Done.

For the batter, you need:
4 egg whites and 2 tbs of sugar
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp sea salt
12 tbs unsalted butter
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar 
1 tsp vanilla extract
0.5 cup sour cream (i used Nestle plain yogurt)
2 cups fresh strawberries

Beat the egg whites with 2 tsp of sugar until stiff for 3-4 minutes. 
i youtubed to watch how to beat egg whites somemore wtf.

Then in another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
In another, cream together butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
i hate this description coz i never know when it is light and fluffy enough. =.=
So i just agak agak like that wtf.

Add the flour mixture and sour cream/yogurt. Mix together.

Gently fold 1/3 of egg whites into the batter. (if you do not understand 'gently fold' like me, again, youtube is your bestfriend)
Do not overmix or the cake will fall flat. 
Add the remaining egg.

Hull and dice the strawberries.

Fold into the batter. 
Love this picture so much. Damn pretty ok.

Fill into the cupcake liners and bake for 20-25 minutes. 

TADA!!! Cho pretty!

The moment it's done, i understand why people love baking. T________T

Not yet done!
We need frosting!! The most exciting part! 

The ingredients for frosting are:
250g of cream cheese
125g of unsalted butter
300g of icing sugar
1 tsp of vanilla

Beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla together. 
Add the sugar slowly. 
Beat till light and fluffy (again wtf).

It was so fun to do frosting!!!! ^^
Then decorate your cupcakes with strawberries or crumbs if you want.

Nah i win my man's heart by these four cupcakes.
