YESTERDAY as my LDNboy and I were on our weekly load the fridge tour we came across some awesome silicone rose cupcake forms and I had to be crazy not to buy them! So, I did! And with Valentine's day being so close I felt like baking some cupcakes with cherry jam. Personally, I am not a fan of this holiday, but I know that for so many of you it means a lot. And you spend days in preparation, cooking and reservations for the special day are made months ago, but in case your plans got wrong in the last minute here is the perfect desert plan B. It only takes a couple of minutes for preparation, although the baking itself takes a little bit more time than with the usual cupcakes. And I promise you'll bring a meme expression on you boyfriends face... the way I did with my LDNboy!!!! So here it is:
INGREDIENTS:
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 200C fan. Spray with nonstick spray a cupcake tray. Set aside. Do not freak out on finding a rose petal cupcake tray, you can do it in a regular one, the cupcakes just won't be in the shape of roses. You can also do them in a heart shape cupcakes. In
the bowl cream together butter and sugar, about
1-2 minutes. Add salt, eggs, and vanilla and continue stirring until
fully incorporated. Add flour and baking powder and mix until just
combined. Press dough into the
prepared baking tray. Top with cherry pie filling. Drop remaining batter
(1/2 cup) in small pieces over the cherry filling. Place
in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
from the oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with yogurt or ice-cream!
And there it is a Valentine's day delight by yours faithful,
