Personally, I really love drinking tea with a cupcake, it makes the tea drinking process much more fun.
- Inventory and kitchen appliances: mixer, sieve, coffee grinder, oven.
Required Products
I got the recipe for a classic cupcake baked in the oven from my grandmother. As a child, she often spoiled me with different cakes, but I loved this cupcake the most. We don’t need any exotic ingredients to prepare it. Here is the list of products we need:
Flour must be sifted with a sieve.
Features of product selection
Some people don't like to eat raisins, so you can substitute them. My friend, for example, puts nuts instead of raisins. Although the capital cupcake, according to GOST, is made with the addition of raisins, it can be changed a little if desired. Instead of raisins, you can also add dates, candied fruits, dried apricots, almonds, and Turkish delight.
If you are an amateur alcoholic drinks, then nuts or raisins can be infused in rum. A few days before preparation, make a tincture and hide it in dark place. Baking with rum ingredients will have its own rich and pleasant taste. Such delicacies are made in the Bahamas, attracting tourists.
Cupcake is the American name for a cupcake.
For people with diabetes, sugar can be replaced with fructose. Instead of butter, add margarine with minimal fat content. Such a product will have a minimum amount of calories, but will still be tasty.
How to make a classic cupcake: step-by-step recipe
We will prepare this dessert in two stages. Let's cook first classic dough for cupcakes. Next we will bake them. From the resulting dough you can make one large cupcake or several small ones, depending on what molds you have.
First stage: preparing the dough
We need softened butter, so it is better to remove it from the refrigerator an hour before preparing the delicacy. Or put it in a glass and place the glass in warm water, then the butter will soften faster. 
Softened butter beat together with powder, but you can also beat with sugar. However, then you need to make sure that all the sugar has dissolved. I make powdered sugar in a coffee grinder, but you can buy it ready-made at the supermarket. 
Now beat the butter and powder into a fluffy mass using a mixer, and add vanilla sugar or vanillin. Next, add three eggs, but you need to add them one by one, while mixing. 
After adding raisins to the dough, do not use a mixer.
After this, pour boiling water over the raisins. Then we squeeze it with a paper towel and add it to our dough. 
Stir with a spoon until the raisins are completely distributed throughout the mixture. 
Now add a pinch of salt and sift the flour using a sieve. Add flour in parts, while mixing the contents. 
At the end you need to add baking powder and finally mix everything. Our dough is ready.
Second stage: baking
Now let's prepare the form. You can bake in a large pan to get a simple cupcake, or you can bake portioned cupcakes in small pans. Grease the mold with butter. This procedure can be done using vegetable oil, but it seems to me that it will taste better with cream. After this you need to sprinkle it with a little flour. 
Then you need to make a small cut in the middle. Wet a spatula or knife in water and draw a strip down the center. 
Bake in a preheated oven at 160 ºC. Cooking time – 60 minutes. You can check the readiness of the cupcake using a wooden toothpick. It should come out of the cake dry. After baking, it is better to leave the cake in the oven to cool, then it will be easier to remove it from the mold.
The first cupcake recipe was written down in a cook's book in 1796.
Sprinkle the top of the treat with powdered sugar. Now the dessert is completely ready. Vanilla raisin cupcake is ready if you use classic recipe, about 90 minutes. Everything turns out simply, quickly and tastefully. 
How to beautifully decorate and serve a cupcake
If you have made portioned small cupcakes, then there are a lot of beautiful and bright jewelry. Complex figures are made using pastry syringe. Only professionals can make such decorations, so we will skip them. Here are some simple ways cupcake decorations:
- Cupcake in the form of a mug with hot chocolate (the baking mold must match the size of the mug; after baking, place the delicacy in the mug and pour chocolate over it; you can put a few pieces of Turkish delight or marmalade on top).
- Cream dessert (serve the cupcake with a mold; apply a layer of cream on top, which swirls like a tsunami; this is very easy to do if you use a pastry bag).
- Berry cupcake (this dessert is decorated with berries: blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.).
All cupcake decorations are made only after baking.
If you baked a large classic homemade cupcake, then you can decorate it simply with powdered sugar, as I did. If desired, sprinkle small pieces of walnuts or almonds on top. You can also add various berries.
To prepare this delicacy, I used 200 g of butter. Some say it's too much and the cupcake turns out a little greasy. In this case, you can put a little less butter and add more flour. Or replace the butter with margarine.
While preparing the powdered sugar, add a little vanillin, it will give it a pleasant aroma. If you want to sprinkle nuts or berries on top of the cake, you need to chop them and place them on top of the powder. Instead of 3 eggs, you can put 4 or even 5, this will not make the dessert any worse.
In 2012, more than 770 million cupcakes were sold in the United States.
Stolichny cake with raisins according to GOST can also be prepared in a slow cooker. Only the baking time should be increased to 90 minutes. If desired, you can add nuts and candied fruits to the dough along with raisins.

To drink tea with a cupcake, there is no need for a long time stand at the stove. Now there are many recipes that can be used to prepare so-called quick cupcakes. They won’t take much time and won’t require a lot of ingredients, and you can start baking them even five minutes before drinking tea. This is very healthy recipes for those who have unexpected guests, but have not bought anything for tea. So, we present to your attention several methods for preparing the fastest baked goods.
Quick cupcake in the microwave: 5 minutes before guests arrive
Every housewife knows situations when friends call and say that they will come to visit in a few minutes. Guests are always good, especially when you have something to treat them with. What if there is nothing for tea? We suggest baking a quick cake in the microwave. In 5 minutes you will have a delicious treat ready. This cake turns out to be especially soft and fluffy, and every housewife always has the ingredients for its preparation in the refrigerator.
First you need to grease the baking dish with butter. Break one egg into a bowl, add a couple of tablespoons of milk or cream, add sugar to taste, a little salt, baking powder (you can quench soda with vinegar - a proven baking powder!). Pour two tablespoons of odorless vegetable oil, add flour in such an amount that the dough turns out like for making pancakes (about 4 tablespoons will be needed). You can add raisins, chocolate (cocoa), nuts, dried fruits or other fillers to this composition.
Preparing the dough will only take a couple of minutes, and the cupcake will bake for three to four minutes at a microwave power of 750. The quick cupcake, the recipe for which, as you can see, is very simple, is ready!
Attention! The amount of ingredients is calculated for one serving.
Quick cupcake: recipe with whey
If you make cottage cheese yourself and have nowhere to put the whey, you can use it to make homemade baked goods. Quick whey muffins are very soft and fluffy, their taste will be appreciated by the most capricious eater.
You will need a glass of whey, which needs to be poured over a teaspoon of soda to “quench”. Add two glasses of sugar and 200 grams of softened margarine or butter, beat with a whisk. Also, using a whisk, knead the dough, adding three eggs, a teaspoon of salt (you can do without it) and three cups of flour.
Grease the mold with butter (by the way, it should be high, as the cake will turn out high because it will rise in the oven). Bake over medium heat and check doneness with a match or toothpick. It will take no more than half an hour to prepare (including kneading the dough).
Cupcake on the water
If you want something sweet for your tea, but don’t have kefir or milk to make a cake, then we suggest making it with the addition of water! Quick cupcakes are quick because they have to be prepared in a jiffy and from available ingredients, which means they eliminate shopping trips, which is why many housewives love them.
So, take two eggs, a glass of sugar, six tablespoons of plain water, one hundred grams of softened butter, a teaspoon of soda (quench with vinegar or add ready-made baking powder), one and a half cups of flour. All ingredients must be whipped with a mixer, the resulting mass must be poured into a tall, greased pan and baked over medium heat.
While the cake is baking, you can wash the dishes or vacuum, it will be ready within thirty minutes.
Curd cupcakes with chocolate
Treat yourself to a curd and chocolate treat! Cupcake on a quick fix Cottage cheese turns out to be truly delicious if there is real chocolate in the middle.
You will need a standard package of cottage cheese (250 grams), two hundred grams of sugar, one hundred grams of soft butter, four eggs, baking powder, a pinch of vanillin (optional), two hundred grams of flour (if the eggs are large, you will need 50 grams more). Mix all ingredients and beat with a mixer.
You need to put a tablespoon of dough into muffin tins, spread it thoroughly, put a piece of chocolate in the center of each product, and close the second part of the dough. Bake for no more than thirty minutes over medium heat.
Sour cream cupcakes
Quick muffins can also be made using sour cream. You will need a jar (200 grams), in addition, you will need two eggs, three hundred grams of sugar, about 90 milliliters of vegetable oil, four hundred grams of flour, soda slaked with vinegar, or baking powder - a teaspoon. If you wish, you can add a pinch of salt. Mix the products, use a mixer or whisk to break up the lumps, pour into molds and bake for forty minutes.
You can also cook them in the microwave; the cooking time will take much less - about fifteen minutes. The mode should be set to 750, and you need to bake for no more than seven minutes! However, in this case the cupcakes will not be as golden brown as when baked in the oven.
Raisin cupcake
We suggest making a quick kefir cake with raisins. Everyone will like this delicacy, and children will especially appreciate it. The ingredients needed for cooking are the most common ones, and they can be found in any refrigerator.
You will need a glass of kefir (the fattier the kefir, the tastier the baked goods will be), half a glass of sugar, two eggs, a pinch of salt, soda or baking powder (teaspoon), margarine or butter (about 150 grams), vanillin, 50 grams of raisins, three hundred gram of flour.
Grind butter/margarine with sugar, beat in chicken eggs. Add vanillin, baking powder (if you use soda, you don’t need to quench it with vinegar, kefir will handle it on its own), kefir, and beat with a whisk. Lastly, add the flour and raisins (soaked for ten minutes and dried).
The resulting dough should be poured into the mold and baked for about half an hour.
In this article we have provided proven recipes for the most delicious pastries. Quick cupcakes will become a favorite dish for the whole family, and guests will appreciate the talent of the hostess!
The simplest cupcake recipe is an analogue of a store-bought semi-finished product for home baking. The composition based on it, fillers and flavorings are at your discretion.
Basic recipe
The recipe for a store-bought semi-finished product is taken as a basis.
Ingredients of a milk cake
List of ingredients for making the simplest milk cake:
- Granulated sugar - 1 glass
- Baking powder - 2 heaped teaspoons
- Milk - 1 glass
Ingredients of a kefir cake
- List of ingredients for making the simplest kefir cake:
- Premium wheat flour - 2 cups
- Granulated sugar - 1 glass
- Baking soda - 1 heaping teaspoon
- Kefir - 1 glass
- Chicken egg - 2 pieces (small - 3 pieces)
- Butter (margarine) - 100 grams
Half of the kefir in this recipe can be replaced with jam.
Preparation
In a metal enamel bowl, mix, heating, milk (kefir), butter (margarine), eggs and sugar until smooth.
It is better, of course, to use butter, but if you decide to add margarine to the dough, under no circumstances defrost it in microwave oven- when defrosting at the lowest temperature, my briquette exploded and stained all the walls of the microwave. Now I carefully heat the entire liquid fraction with butter (margarine), stirring, over gas stove on an open fire. You can, of course, use a water bath, but it is more difficult and takes longer.
Flour with baking powder ( baking soda) sift through a special mug-sieve or a regular sieve. If you use a sieve mug, you can sift directly into the liquid fraction. Turn on gas oven, set the temperature regulator to 180-200ºС. Grease a frying pan or baking dish with oil and begin mixing the liquid fraction with a mixture of flour and baking powder (baking soda).
Place the finished dough in a frying pan or mold and, when the oven is warmed up, set to bake. Baking time - 40-50 minutes. We check the readiness as usual: pierce it with a knife or a sharpened wooden stick and if the dough does not stick, then it is ready.
If you bake a cake in regular frying pan without non-stick coating, it can be cut with a knife directly in the frying pan, both hot and cold. In order to remove the entire cake from the mold, it is better to wait until it has cooled so that it does not fall apart when removing.
Fillers and flavors
Cocoa powder, vanilla sugar or crystalline vanillin, nuts, raisins, candied fruits, dried apricots, and cinnamon can be used as fillers and flavorings.
Sift cocoa powder, vanilla sugar, cinnamon along with flour and baking powder (baking soda). Pre-dissolve crystalline vanillin in a small amount of vodka. Add nuts, raisins, candied fruits, dried apricots at the very end of kneading.
Airy cupcake
The cake will turn out very airy and tender if you beat the eggs separately into a thick foam and add to the dough at the end of the kneading.
Original recipe source
The basis for this recipe is the composition of the store-bought orange cake “Bake at Home” with the following composition:
- Premium wheat flour

Fresh, homemade cupcakes are delicious!
And it's very easy to prepare.
And in order not to waste time on long baking, you can use small molds: silicone, metal and even paper.
Fortunately, there is a huge selection in stores now.
Cupcakes in molds at home - general principles of preparation
The four main ingredients of a cake are butter, sugar, eggs and flour. They appear in every recipe, but always in different proportions. This determines the final result.
For taste add to the dough:
Cocoa, chocolate, coffee;
Fruits, dried fruits, candied fruits;
Vanilla, various essences, cinnamon;
Cottage cheese and other dairy products.
To make the product airy and porous, a ripper is added to the dough. It can be replaced with baking soda, which is extinguished with acid to eliminate the specific odor. The finished dough is laid out in molds and then baked.
Features and preparation of molds
Silicone forms They can be single or connected to each other, and come with recesses for filling. They do not require special preparation and go well with baked goods. Metal molds should be greased with oil, preferably vegetable oil, before filling in the dough. Paper cups are used for light dough, most often for muffins. They don't need pre-treatment, but require a special stand. Otherwise, the baked goods may come out crooked.

Cupcakes in tins at home - useful tips and tricks
Who said butter is better than margarine? Actually this is not true. First of all, we look at the fat content of the product. Baked goods made from 80% margarine are much better than from butter, or rather, an incomprehensible product with 50% fat.
In order for candied fruits, raisins and other pieces to be evenly distributed in the dough, they must first be mixed with flour, and only then combined with the liquid mass.
To determine if the cake is ready, you just need to pierce it with a wooden splinter (toothpick, match). If it is dry and not sticky, then you can remove the baked goods.
Even the most boring cupcake will become more fun if you decorate it with frosting, fondant, syrup and sprinkled with nuts. Or maybe cut it and layer it with cream?
It is believed that cupcakes do not like movement. And if the form is placed in the oven, then it is not touched until the very end. Then turn off the oven, open the door slightly and allow the products to cool slightly. After that you can take it out.
