Simple nut cupcake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a cupcake with nuts? Prepare your food. I took the nuts in the form of a mixture: walnuts, cashews, almonds and hazelnuts. You can stop at one thing or make a mix, choose according to your taste. I use vanilla sugar with natural vanilla, which is why it is so dark. Remember that the ingredients for the cake should be at the same temperature - room temperature, so remove them from the refrigerator in advance. The butter should soften completely; we will beat it.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour together with baking powder to saturate it with oxygen. What flour is best to use? I recommend taking the highest grade.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grind the nuts to fine crumbs. I used a food processor, you can use a blender, or you can just chop them with a knife. In general, the size of the nuts is not so important in this recipe; they do not act as flour. Large pieces will also work.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat butter and sugar. Beat at low speed, add sugar gradually. The butter should become fluffy and light.

5. STEP 5

   

   While continuing to beat, add eggs to the butter mixture one at a time. After each egg, wait until completely mixed. The mass will become smooth and shiny.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add vanilla sugar and nuts to the butter, stir.

7. STEP 7

   

   Turn the mixer on to the lowest speed and add the flour little by little. Mix well until smooth. Please note that you may need more or less flour than I did. Be guided by the consistency of the dough; it should not be too stiff.

8. STEP 8

   

   Turn on the oven to preheat at 200°C. Grease the pan with oil, lay out the dough, and smooth the top with a spatula.

9. STEP 9

   

   Reduce oven temperature to 170°C. Bake the cake for about an hour or a little less or more. Focus on your oven and the appearance of the cake - it should brown. Cool the finished cake. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top.

I was going to visit my mother-in-law and needed to quickly prepare something for tea. I found this recipe for a delicious and beautiful cupcake. I had the oil warmed up in advance, so I kneaded the dough very quickly. The dough itself turned out to be quite thick, as befits a cake dough) I changed the order of adding flour and nuts. I took walnuts, I didn’t grind them in a blender, I wanted them to be pieces. I put the nuts in a bag and tapped them with a rolling pin, resulting in pieces of different sizes. First I put flour into the dough, and then nuts. By the way, we chop the nuts in advance and I put them in the freezer. This way they don’t spoil and you can immediately take the right amount for baking. The cake was baked for 40 minutes. I love the rectangular cake pan, it creates such a nice little shape in the middle, and it’s easy to cut. The cake turned out fluffy and porous. Soft inside and crispy outside. There are a lot of nuts, you can see it when cut) It’s very tasty! Everyone liked the rich nutty aroma and taste.
