Caraway Seed Cupcake Recipe

I am experimenting at the moment with cupcakes using seeds and spices to see what flavours are good. This is a recipe for Caraway Seed Cupcake.

Ingredients

4oz--110gm--1/2cup castor sugar

4oz--110gm--1/2cup unsalted butter or margarine

40z--110gm--1 cup plain flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder,

2 eggs

1 tablespoon of milk

1 tablespoon of caraway seeds

Method

Put the sugar and butter into a bowl and beat by hand with a wooden spoon or use a mixer until creamy

Add1 egg and beat in

Add the second egg and beat in

Seive in the flour and the baking powder and mix gently

Add the caraway seeds and mix gently

Divide the mixture into cupcake cases which have been placed into a baking tray. I use a large spoon. This makes about 12 cupcakes in large cases. I fill each case about half to 3/4 full.

Pre heat the oven to gas 4--350F--180C

Cook in the middle to top of the oven if you have gas. I would suggest the middle for electric.

Cook for 15 to 20 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN for at least 15 minutes as the cakes will sink.

They need to be firm to touch

Remove from the oven and cool

I have decorated with butter cream( half butter and half icing sugar) and sprinkled with caraway seeds.

If you do not like butter cream, top off with natural yogurt, cream cheese or marscapone cheese.

I really enjoyed the flavour of the caraway and the crunchy texture inside the cupcakes and on the top.
