Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic raisin cupcake? Prepare your food. Take them out of the refrigerator in advance so they come to room temperature, this is the first secret to a successful cupcake. Choose high-quality, natural butter, without milk fat substitutes, that complies with GOST.

2. STEP 2

   

   Choose small, seedless raisins for the cupcake. First, rinse it thoroughly with warm water, removing debris and brushes. Then pour boiling water over the raisins and leave for half an hour. After time has passed, drain the water and place the raisins on a paper towel to remove excess liquid.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a deep bowl, beat soft butter with sugar and salt with a mixer until fluffy and light.

4. STEP 4

   

   Salt in a sweet cake acts as a flavor enhancer.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then, without stopping whisking, beat one egg at a time into the oil. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.

6. STEP 6

   

   Whisk the mixture thoroughly each time.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then add dried steamed raisins into the mixture. Stir the dough so that the raisins are evenly distributed throughout it.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the flour sifted and mixed with vanilla and baking powder into this bowl. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baked goods will turn out airy and rise well during baking. Be careful with vanillin, in large quantities it starts to taste bitter; there is only enough of it on the tip of a knife.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix the dough well until it becomes completely homogeneous. Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the dough in a greased pan. Place it in the oven and bake the cake for 40 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    When the top layer of the cake is slightly browned, check it for readiness: pierce it with a wooden skewer in several places; if the skewer comes out dry, then the pan can be removed from the oven. Let the cake cool in the pan. Then carefully remove and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

12. STEP 12

    

    This cake can be served with tea, coffee, cocoa or milk, for a simple tea party or on a holiday table. It does not go stale for a long time and does not lose its taste.

13. STEP 13

    

    Enjoy your tea!

Great recipe for a classic raisin cupcake, only my cupcake without raisins. The cake is very tender and melts in your mouth. The description of the cupcake corresponds to reality. And very juicy. I sprinkled pink powder on top of the cooled cupcake, but because the cupcake was juicy, the powder melted, and I put dates in the middle.
