Cupcakes without butter and margarine on kefir

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients. If desired, these ingredients can be used to bake one large cake in a large mold, or small ones in portioned molds. It is better to remove kefir and chicken eggs from the refrigerator in advance so that they are at room temperature.

2. STEP 2

   

   In one deep bowl, beat chicken eggs with sugar and salt. Sift the flour into another bowl, add baking powder and vanillin. Mix dry ingredients. If desired, baking powder can be replaced with soda. The dough won't rise any worse. But then the amount of soda must be reduced to half a teaspoon, otherwise the dough will develop a bitter taste and a specific taste of soda.

3. STEP 3

   

   You can do this with a whisk or a mixer; with the second method, the process will significantly speed up and reduce the baking time. Chicken eggs should be completely dispersed, sugar and salt should dissolve.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour kefir into the bowl with the egg mixture.

5. STEP 5

   

   And vegetable oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Whisk everything well again. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the liquid ones. We do this in parts, immediately stirring the dough with a spoon so that no lumps form. The dough should have the consistency of thick sour cream. Therefore, we focus on the thickness of the dough, and not on the amount of flour, since each manufacturer has a different density of flour and, accordingly, more or less flour may be used.

7. STEP 7

   

   Grease muffin tins with vegetable oil. If desired, you can line it with parchment. Pour the dough into the molds so that it occupies only two-thirds of the molds; the cupcakes will rise well during baking. Wash the raisins and walnuts well. Steam the raisins, pour boiling water over them and dry on a paper towel. Dry the walnuts in the microwave. Place the raisins and nuts on top of the dough, they will spread throughout the dough and settle during baking.

8. STEP 8

   

   Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Place the muffin tins in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. We focus on the operation of the oven and the size of the molds with the dough. We check readiness with a wooden skewer. Remove the finished cupcakes and molds and serve. If desired, sprinkle with glaze, chocolate or sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy your tea!

For some reason, the first time my cupcake turned out to be literally lumpy. The dough didn’t rise completely, but it was so tasty that I decided to bake it again. Just in case, I added more baking powder. The cupcakes turned out sooo delicious! And the crunchy nuts really brightened them up. Dare it in one sitting! Snezhana, thank you for the delicious food!
