Numbri-muffinid

• Alloleva retsepti katsetasin läbi Renate 14. sünnipäevaks. Tõlkimisega läheb veel veidi aega, kuid pärit on asi Martha Stewartilt :)
• 
  
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour = 240+30 g
• 2 1/4 cups sugar = 400+50 g
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder = 100 g
• 2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water = 238 ml
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk = 238 ml
• 1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons safflower oil = 60 ml
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 
  

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line mini muffin tins with baking cups. Sift flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Mix in eggs, warm water, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl, until smooth, about 3 minutes.
2. Working in batches, divide batter evenly among cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until tops spring back when pressed with a finger, about 20 minutes. Let cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
3. Using a pastry bag fitted with a fine star tip, pipe buttercream onto cupcakes to decorate.

kreem:

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups sugar = 400+50g
• 10 large egg whites, room temperature
• Pinch of salt
• 8 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into small pieces = 8*113,5=908g
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• Gel-paste food coloring (optional; nycake.com)

Directions

1. Heat sugar, egg whites, and salt in a heatproof mixer bowl set over a pan of simmering water, whisking, until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
2. Return bowl to mixer, and whisk, gradually increasing speed from low to medium-high, until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Reduce speed to medium. Add butter, a few pieces at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in vanilla. Switch to a paddle attachment. Beat until air bubbles are gone, 2 to 3 minutes more.
3. Beat in food coloring, 1 drop at a time, until desired color is achieved. (If making more than 1 color, divide buttercream and work in batches.)
