That big day of the year came. It is your son or daughter’s birthday, and you are throwing a blowout for them and their friends. Years go by and children grow up so quickly. They are perhaps teenagers by now. You are planning each single detail, to make this party memorable. How about ditching the same, conventional birthday cake and come up with something new, original, for once. Surprise your loved child and his guests with an original dessert. They will enjoy the unique taste of the one-of-a-kind and delicious dessert, while appreciating your extra effort to make their day special. At their age, looks and the “impress” factor are just as important as the taste, if not more.
The options are gigantic, but if you are looking for something healthy, tasteful and easy as pie to make, put your apron on get hectic in the kitchen. It will take you no pain and a really short time to prepare some tasty lemon cupcakes. Even for this dessert, the choices among the varieties are limitless, but I would suggest the legendary recipe of Martha Stuart.
This easy to create recipe is included in her book, Martha Stuart’s Cupcakes, or you can find it online in various cooking blogs, or simply by searching in any search engine with the name of the dessert.
The ingredients are without difficulty found in your local supermarket and you can create a considerable number of cupcakes for a very super-duper price. The refreshing taste, with that gentle citrus sting will be a winner among your child’s guests. You can embellish the cups with ribbons, or any additional embellishment you thin might add to their appeal, look wise. And don’t forget to bring those colourful birthday candles to put on two of them, as the finishing touch. We also want to include a basic recipe, which is simple to follow.
The ingredients for a basic, incomplex lemon cup cake consist of softened butter, caster sugar, finely-grated lemon, eggs, plain flour and, baking powder, for the cup cake itself. For the icing, softened butter, sifted icing sugar, finely-grated lemon, lemon juice and, perhaps, crystallized flowers for decoration, are used.
After the oven has been preheated to 1800 degrees Celsius, the butter has to be creamed in a large plate until it is soft, and the sugar and grated lemon added and beaten until light and fluffy. The beaten eggs are gradually added, and the flour and baking powder are sifted and folded into the mixture, then everything is whizzed together in an electric food mixer.
The mixture is then divided between the paper cases, and baked in the preheated oven for 7 – 10 minutes, when the centre of the cake springs back when touched. The cakes are removed from the tin and cooled on a wire rack before being iced.
For the icing, the butter is creamed until soft in a bowl with either a wooden spoon or an electric beater, after which the icing sugar, grated lemon zest and lemon juice are gradually added to create the icing spread. This mixture is then heaped onto the cooled cakes, and decorated with the crystallized flowers.
