Cupcakes are a quick and easy homemade dessert option. There are a lot of cupcake recipes. Among them there are the simplest, and festive, refined. Based on what additional ingredients you add to the dough or filling, the taste of the finished product changes.
I propose to cook cupcakes with bright sunny dried apricots. Ready-made cupcakes are lush with an orange-yellow crumb. After baking, the crust of cupcakes is hard, but after cooling it becomes softer. Delight your household with beautiful and fragrant pastries.
We will prepare the products for making cakes with dried apricots according to the list.
We wash the dried apricots well, pour boiling water over them and leave for 20-30 minutes to swell. Alternatively, dried apricots can be boiled in a saucepan until soft, and then cool.
Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl, add salt and mix well.
In a container where we will knead the dough for cupcakes, put sugar and butter. Beat with a mixer.
Beat in the eggs one at a time and beat until smooth.
When the dried apricots become soft enough, with a submersible blender we pierce it together with the water in which it was steamed until pureed.
Add the resulting puree to the sugar-butter mixture and mix with a spatula.
Gradually fold in flour with baking powder. Quickly, but gently, mix with a spatula or spoon. It turns out a tender, airy dough.
It is advisable to use silicone molds that are not small. The diameter of my molds is 6 cm, the height is 5 cm. We lay out the dough, filling the molds by 2/3 of the volume. If you are not sure about the quality of your molds, then grease them with a small amount vegetable oil. I didn't grease my molds.
In an oven preheated to 180-190 degrees, put a baking sheet with molds. Bake the muffins on medium for about 25-35 minutes (depend on your oven). Be sure to check for a dry skewer.
Cupcakes with dried apricots are ready. Take them out of the molds, cover with a towel and let cool. Sprinkle cupcakes with powdered sugar and serve.
