Cupcake with candied fruits in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a candied fruit cake in the oven? Prepare your food. In order for the cake to rise well and become soft during baking, all ingredients must be at room temperature. Therefore, remove the eggs and sour cream from the refrigerator in advance. The butter will melt, so its temperature is not critical. If you have large candied fruits, then cut them into small pieces.

2. STEP 2

   

   Melt the butter any way you can. I put it in a saucepan and heated it over low heat until liquid. Cool the melted butter.

3. STEP 3

   

   Break the eggs into a large bowl. Add sugar. Using a mixer, beat the eggs with sugar until fluffy and light. This will take about 5 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   While whisking continuously, pour in the melted butter.

5. STEP 5

   

   As soon as it is incorporated, stop the mixer. Then you can use a regular whisk or spatula.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add sour cream, stir.

7. STEP 7

   

   Sift flour into the dough, leaving a couple of tablespoons for rolling candied fruits. Add baking powder and vanilla if using.

8. STEP 8

   

   Stir the dough until completely homogeneous.

9. STEP 9

   

   Sprinkle the candied fruits with the remaining flour, distribute it evenly, stirring the candied fruits with a spoon. This will help the candied fruits to be evenly distributed throughout the dough and not settle to the bottom.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the candied fruits into the dough and mix them in with a spatula.

11. STEP 11

    

    Prepare a baking dish. Any heat-resistant pan will work for this recipe. If you are using a silicone mold, you do not need to coat it with oil. But it is better to lightly grease metal, ceramic or glass dishes with vegetable oil so that the baked goods do not burn. Pour the dough into the mold. Mine is 20*9 cm in size. But there was much more dough, so I baked two more small cupcakes. I think that this amount of products will be enough for two of my forms.

12. STEP 12

    

    Bake the cake in the oven, preheated to 180°C, top-bottom mode, about 40-50 minutes. When the top layer of baked goods is slightly browned, check it for readiness: pierce it with a wooden skewer in several places; if the skewer comes out dry, then the mold (or baking sheet) can be removed from the oven. Cool the finished cake and remove from the mold. You can sprinkle it with powdered sugar.

Thank you very much for the recipe! This is the third time I’ve done it and it’s always successful. I adjusted the recipe by 3/4 to fit the size of the mold. I replaced the candied fruits with a mix of berries (gooseberries and currants), which remained after draining the tincture. It’s always a pity for berries, but here such an option was discovered. During the baking process, the alcohols remaining in the berries evaporated, but the pleasant barberry hue remained. The surprisingly dense dough bakes well in 50 minutes (top and bottom with convection) at 180 degrees. The last 10 minutes only the lower ten at 120. Personal result! I recommend everyone to try cooking.

Really very beautiful and impressive cupcake! I wanted to bake it so much that I specifically went to the store to buy candied fruits) I reduced the amount of butter in the dough a little, because... My sour cream was fatty. The cupcake turned out big, enough for a large friendly company. It baked for almost an hour, after about forty minutes I turned down the heat, the middle was not yet baked, but a crust had already formed on top. I didn't cover it with foil. The result was a real, magnificent cake, with all the inherent properties. It is moist, spongy, and tastes creamy. The texture is silky and soft. And on the cut there are bright candied fruits like colored pebbles. It looks very elegant and festive! I really liked this cupcake, I will bake it many more times) I recommend it to everyone, any housewife will definitely succeed in making this cupcake!

This turned out to be an excellent cupcake with candied fruits in the oven. I slightly modified the recipe for 1 egg. Instead of butter, sunflower oil. Added raisins and cinnamon.
