For me, baking a cupcake is a whole ritual! I especially love English. It contains a combination of all my favorite dried fruits, which not only give baked goods an extraordinary aroma, but also fill them with a storehouse of useful substances. I also add ground walnuts there as an experiment. It is best to brew the tea for such a cupcake stronger, not sparing the brew. Just choose tea without additives or fillers - they will take away from the true taste of the dish. Check the readiness of the cake with a wooden stick and wait until it is completely baked.
