| Tart and somewhat sweet to remove the guilt |
These are called
Hopey’s sour cherries cupcakes, in honor of my girl’s first baking attempt. It may seem weird
that the first baking project to prepare for a life overseas should be something so unessential but then, life
is all about choices isn’t it?
Rice and bread may
be the most important part of a meal especially when far away from home but there are always the little surprises to jazz up the monotonous grind. Whether she opts to stay or not, I hope she
will remember that the occasional rainbow still shines after gloomy and
toilsome days.
Hopefully this recipe
will be the springboard for friendship and get-togethers with people she
cherishes in a far away land.
Makes 30 small
cupcakes.
Ingredients :
150g plain flour
1 Tbsp baking
powder
30g almond meal
1/8 tsp salt
flakes
125g butter,
softened
90g brown sugar
2 eggs
125ml milk
sour cherries for
garnish

to 170C.
In a bowl, mix
flour, powder, meal and salt.
In a mixing bowl,
cream butter and sugar.
Add eggs, one at a
time.

alternating with milk and whisk.
Spoon the batter
to prepared cupcake liners.
Top each cupcake

Oh preparing to leave the nest? Baking may be non-essential but I think it is a plus to know how to bake! Your girl will delight her friends with her bakes and I tell you, cupcakes are about the best ice breaker!
ReplyDeleteThought it will never happen but yes, kiddo is flying the roost. Nothing to give her except an education and a good cupcake recipe :-)
