Cooking method

Well, I really love cupcakes ... My body cowardly thinks that if baking without cream, then, it means that it does not count as such food from which you can get better :) Not a single purchased cupcake seduced us, and homemade ones have been I was very bad at it ... until one day I returned home from the store with a special cupcake mold with a hole inside :) And away we go ... Today I bring to your attention one of our many cupcake options, which is very good in winter (however, like at any other time of the year) - with this cupcake the house is always warm, cozy and it seems that your beloved grandmother is visiting you ... Let's try?
Turn on the oven at 160 degrees.
We divide the eggs into yolks and whites.
Beat the whites with a pinch of salt in a separate bowl into a thick foam (as it was written in the recipe, but for reliability, I always beat it even more steeply - into a dense cloud).
In another bowl, beat soft butter with powdered sugar and vanilla sugar.
Add the yolks one at a time and beat with them.
Add 4 tbsp. l. plum jam and whisk again.
Next I have a secret ingredient - 30 ml. Baileys liqueur (well, I always add alcohol to the dough, but you don't have to).
Sift the flour and mix it with baking powder and chopped nuts (lately, nuts are a very rare guest in my house, alas, but this is not a reason not to bake muffins: when there are no nuts, I just add another 50 grams of flour and play with spices, for example , add ground cardamom and cinnamon).
Now add a third of the proteins to the oil-gum mass, mix, add flour with nuts, mix, add all the proteins, mix.
Grease the cake pan with butter, lay out the dough, level and bake in the oven at 160 degrees for about an hour (the recipe was 45 minutes, so be guided by your oven).
We check the readiness with a wooden stick, take it out, shake it off, cool it down, guard it, distract the attention of family members :)
When the cake is completely cool, cut it lengthwise into two parts (well, in the sense of like cake cakes) and grease with plum jam.
Then the most interesting part begins: we decorate according to our taste and preferences. This option works great: spread jam on top of the cake at a certain distance, and on it whole or halves of nuts, lightly pressing. If you want to show off, then ... show off boldly, this cupcake will withstand absolutely any of your wildest imaginations and teaching bread-makers here is not very promising, so I won't :))) I will only say that the photo on the cake contains chocolate ganache and a parody of flower from mastic :)
And in the context it looks like this
I love you very much, I congratulate everyone on the coming year of the Monkey and I wish that she will definitely bring you love and joy, warmth and tenderness, care and happiness, luck and prosperity, children's laughter and grumbles of the older generation, the support of friends and the devotion of loved ones :)) And to make their eyes shine happily - bake something absolutely amazing for them, maybe even this cupcake :)))

Note

I remind you: you can safely not read my "note", there is nothing valuable for the recipe. But, as always, I can't resist, on New Year's Day, and not to chat?
You know, the recipe for this cupcake appeared in our house as follows. Once before Easter, when I still practically didn’t know how to do anything (even go to the Bread Maker and find everything that was essential for a happy family life), but I really wanted to learn, I, announcing to my family that we would have homemade cakes, asked them to buy some - some magazines with recipes for these same cakes, well, just what they will come across on the way home. Mine always supported me, no matter what I started: this: and decided to honestly fulfill the responsible task entrusted to them, and since none of them really hoped for the result, they did not look inside the magazines either: it is written on the cover of "Recipes for Easter" - boldly buy :) And so several magazines appeared in my farm, and four of the purchased ones - in duplicate (dad and daughter, without saying a word, bought exactly the same, well they are relatives, tastes coincide). In one of these magazines, or rather, in two identical ones, since the picture on the cover was sooooo appetizing, I discovered a huge number of recipes for excellent cupcakes that had nothing to do with Easter and Easter recipes, but have become the favorite dishes of our family.Today I I baked almost all of them, and from each of them we got untold pleasure, I really want to share this pleasure with you And, in addition, this was another reason to once again illustrate two very important conclusions that I came to a long time ago: first, it is insanely important and valuable when your family supports you absolutely in any of your endeavors, and it is very warm to live with the knowledge that your relatives remember and know about all your little fads and troubles, no matter how ridiculous or insignificant they may seem to them :) secondly, in a real family, the value system of all its constituent relatives is always the same, regardless of gender or age. No, don't get me wrong: of course, someone loves watermelon, and someone loves pork cartilage, someone loves blue, someone loves white, and so on, but that's what is "good" and "bad" , "you can do this", "I could not do otherwise" or "it is absolutely impossible to do this" - all members of a real family understand absolutely the same, and this is what makes them dear people, not only by blood, but also by spirit ... And it doesn't matter how and in what it manifests itself, in a global sense or in small things, but this life law always works: you can give up your interests in difficult times so that your dear little man becomes well, at least a little warmer and calmer, or, for example, not conspiring to buy two identical magazines ... Do you agree?
