Baking small cupcakes in molds. Chocolate muffins with chocolate chips

Still think buying silicone molds is a waste of money? You are wrong! These multi-colored molds are not only beautiful, but also very convenient for baking products, especially cupcakes. After all, no matter how you lubricate the tin with fat, the tender dough will still stick to it. Baking paper is also not a salvation. She gathers in folds and sticks into the finished product even worse than tin. And silicone molds do not require grease. And finished products from them are very easy to get.

Are special recipes required for Not Quite. You just need to know some rules for handling this modern material.

In this article we will give recipes for cupcakes in silicone molds with photos of products. If you are used to making dough for this type of pastry according to your own rules, you do not need to change your customs.

But products in silicone are prepared a little faster than in tin forms, and this must be taken into account. Try new material and you'll see how easy it is to handle.

What you need to know about silicone housewife

Why are these modern molds better than the old proven grandmother's tin? First, the soft material bends and even turns inside out. Those who have ever tried to pick a cupcake out of a tin mold with a knife will understand the advantage of silicone.

Secondly, the material does not need to be greased. It is environmentally friendly and does not give products a metallic taste.

And finally, thirdly, you can bake cupcakes in silicone molds both in the oven and in the microwave. But you can't put a tin can in a microwave oven.

What are silicone molds? Separate - both for a large cake, and for small portioned cakes. There are also single cast forms with a number of recesses. These are convenient to fill with dough, and if necessary, turn in the oven.

Silicone molds also vary in shape. But the classic ones are more popular - in the form of a truncated pyramid with corrugated sides.

If you are going to use silicone molds for the first time, you need to wash them thoroughly in hot water, and grease them before filling with dough. With further culinary processes, this will no longer be necessary.

Secrets of Successful Baking

Whichever recipe we choose for cupcakes in silicone molds, the oven must be set to a constant temperature. Do not open the oven door during the first 20 minutes of cooking, otherwise the dough will fall off. It is also not recommended to move and rotate the molds. To make the dough more airy, it is worth separating the whites from the yolks. But putting them in the refrigerator is not recommended - all ingredients must be at the same temperature. Do you want your cupcakes to stay fresh for a long time? Then add a little (spoon) starch to the flour. The readiness of cupcakes is best checked with a toothpick: if the skewer comes out dry, you can turn off the oven. But what if the product starts to burn on top, but inside it is still damp? Cover cupcakes with foil. Finished products are not recommended to be taken out of the molds hot. Let them cool down completely. Then the shape of the cupcakes will not be damaged. Glaze - if it is provided by the recipe - is also applied to cold products.

in silicone molds on sour cream

We prepare dough for products in the traditional way, just as our grandmothers did, preparing to bake them in corrugated tins. Any cake requires premium wheat flour, sugar, milk or products derived from it, and eggs (although now, to please vegetarians, people have come up with recipes without them).

To make the product lush, all ingredients must be at the same temperature. So get three eggs out of the fridge ahead of time. Sift one and a half cups of flour through a sieve. So it will be saturated with oxygen, which will make the dough even more magnificent.

And now let's look at how to make cupcakes in silicone molds, step by step:

1. Melt butter (180 grams) and cool slightly.
2. Beat the eggs with a whisk with 200 milliliters of sour cream and 185 g of sugar.
3. We add oil. Whisk again.
4. Mix flour with baking powder. Gradually combine loose and liquid masses.
5. Knead the dough. Vanillin can be added for flavor.
6. We fill silicone molds to 2/3 of the volume, since the dough rises during baking.
7. The oven should already be preheated to 180 degrees.
8. Cupcakes should be baked, focusing on the volume of the molds. As soon as the products are browned, turn off the oven.
9. Leave the cupcakes in the molds until completely cooled. We take out the finished products and sprinkle them with powdered sugar.

On milk

We already know how to make simple cupcakes in silicone molds on sour cream. No more complicated recipe that uses milk.

This time we will add vanilla flavor of cupcakes with raisins. Dried grapes (preferably pitted) must first be poured with hot water and left for ten minutes to swell. Then the raisins should be drained and dried a little.

1. Beat three eggs with 160 grams of regular and one teaspoon of vanilla sugar.
2. Melt 150 grams of butter. Cool slightly and add to the eggs.
3. Sift flour (260-300 grams) and combine with a bag of cookie powder. Add this bulk mass to the egg-butter, stirring all the time.
4. We heat a little milk (with a quarter of a glass). Add to dough.
5. We throw a handful of prepared raisins. Knead the dough. It should turn out a little liquid, the consistency of thick sour cream.
6. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
7. Fill silicone molds one-third full with dough. We put in the oven for 40 minutes.
8. We cool and take out the products.

The undoubted advantage of silicone molds is that they turn inside out. Therefore, getting pastries from them is a matter of a couple of seconds.

chocolate cupcakes

Let's see what else you can bake in the oven in silicone molds. The recipe for chocolate cupcakes is as simple as using dried fruit. But in the preparation of such a test, there are nuances that you need to know.

Recipe for curd muffins in silicone molds

If desired, for these products, you can take a children's cheese mass - with vanilla, raisins, dried apricots or prunes. It will take 250 grams of such curd.

1. Soften half a pack of butter and beat with three eggs, regular sugar (one and a half cups) and vanilla (a bag).
2. When the mass becomes homogeneous and the crystals dissolve, we begin to mix the curd.
3. If this ingredient is not smooth, but with grains, add 50 milliliters of milk - warm or room temperature.
4. Beat the mass with a mixer.
5. Add a packet of baking powder. Baking soda will significantly increase the volume of the mass.

7. Fill molds one-third full. Bake should be at a higher temperature - 210 degrees. They will be ready within half an hour.

On kefir

Such a dough for cupcakes in silicone molds turns out to be more airy due to lactic acid bacteria, which fluff it up.

7. Now, in small portions, we will begin to add two glasses of pre-sifted flour.

chocolate fondant

This dessert is extremely popular in Western Europe. Its difference from ordinary cupcakes is that the fondant is served hot, and inside it has a liquid filling. In our recipe, it will consist of melted chocolate. To make this fondant, you can use silicone cupcake molds.

1. First of all, turn on the oven at 200 degrees - after all, the dough cooks quickly.
2. Melt 150 g of dark chocolate and 50 g of butter in a water bath.
3. Pour two eggs into a separate bowl, pour 40 grams of sugar and a pinch of salt. Whisk until fluffy.

6. Mix everything gently with a spatula.
7. The fondant is taken out hot, so we grease it with oil, despite the fact that they are silicone.
8. It takes about 10 minutes to cook cupcakes. It is enough for the dough to rise and harden with a “cap”.
9. Serve fondant with a scoop of ice cream.

Cupcakes without flour (on bran)

Silicone molds for cupcakes can also be used by those who follow the figure and scrupulously count calories. Instead of flour, this recipe provides for the use of bran - oatmeal or rye (optional).

Because of them, the dough turns out to be more loose, so we can’t do without silicone molds here.

1. Low-fat cottage cheese (250 g) mixed with two eggs. If the mass is too dry, you can add a little milk, kefir or sour cream.
2. Add two tablespoons of sugar and bran. At this stage, you can diversify the taste with shavings, raisins, grated chocolate, cinnamon or lemon zest.
3. We lay out the dough in molds and send it to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

Curd muffins with berries

The moist filling perfectly complements the dryish dough of the products, and the fruity sourness harmonizes the sweet taste. Strawberries are suitable for this recipe, as well as other berries that give abundant juice. We prepare the dough in the usual way.

1. Beat two eggs with 200 grams of sugar.
2. Melt butter (120 g), cool slightly and pour into the total mass.
3. Beat again and add 250 g of cottage cheese. Let's mix.
4. Combine the sifted flour (250 g) with soda (half a teaspoon). Gradually add to the batter, stirring constantly.
5. Fill silicone molds half way.
6. Strawberries need to be washed ahead of time, tear off the stalks, and dry.

Now I will tell you a fabulous recipe. Why is that? But because the dough for homemade cake is prepared just like in a fairy tale: they swept the barn, scraped the bottom of the barrel - and now delicious homemade cakes are ready!

This dough recipe is the easiest, most economical and fastest. Moreover, the above recipe for a cake test is universal, so to speak, basic. These are universal cupcakes: by adding various ingredients (cocoa, chocolate, berries, nuts, fruits, raisins) to the finished dough, you can get a new version of the cupcake every time. There is truly no limit to the variety!

It happens that every housewife has a little old sour cream left in the refrigerator, a piece of butter not the first freshness or margarine - it’s scary to eat, but it’s a pity to throw it away! This is where a simple cake recipe that always works out will help you out.

If you are fasting, there is also a test recipe for lean cupcakes, which can be viewed at the link.

Ingredients:

Their set can change every time - for example, today you have a little mayonnaise and sour cream, and next time - only sour cream. Margarine can be replaced with butter, and instead of 3 eggs, take 2 or 4. It will still be delicious.

• 2-3 eggs;
• incomplete glass of sugar (about 3/4 - 150-125 g);
• 2-4 tablespoons of sour cream and (or) mayonnaise;
• 1 teaspoon of soda without top, quenched with vinegar or lemon juice (0.5 tablespoon);
• half a pack of margarine or butter (100 - 125g);
• 1.5 cups flour (about 200 g, you may need a little less or more, depending on the consistency of the dough).

Soda can be replaced with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder.

How to make a simple cake batter:

Beat eggs and sugar - you can not with a mixer, but just with a spoon.

Add sour cream of any fat content. I have not used store-bought mayonnaise for a long time - only homemade.

Previously, I poured a spoonful of soda into sour cream, quenched it with lemon juice or vinegar (not vinegar essence, but 9% table or apple cider vinegar) and mixed it quickly, but very thoroughly. Now I add soda to the flour and sift together into the dough. This is more correct and efficient, because the quenching reaction occurs directly in the dough. And it’s even more convenient to take baking powder (1.5 teaspoons) and sift into the dough along with flour. If you use baking powder, vinegar or lemon juice is not needed, as the baking powder contains citric acid.

Cut the butter into pieces and melt in the microwave at medium power for about 30-45 seconds or on the stove over a small fire. I don’t buy margarine either - I advise you to take butter even for baking. Pour the melted butter into the dough and mix.

Add flour, sifting it together with soda or baking powder, and mix well to get a dough without lumps, thicker in consistency than pancakes - like thick sour cream.

Here's how to quickly and easily make cake batter - and any kind you want! By adding different ingredients each time you can surprise your home with new pastries.

Add cocoa powder to the dough - you get a chocolate muffin. If you divide the dough and add cocoa to only one part, you can bake a zebra pie or marbled two-color cupcake, such as this link, or such.

You can pour fresh berries into the dough and bake a cake with currants or cherries. And if it's winter outside, add raisins and nuts.

Cupcakes from this dough are baked for about 30-35 minutes at 180-200C, But! Everyone has their own oven, with an individual character, so look at the cupcake. Try it with a wooden stick in the highest place - when there is no dough left on the stick, it means that the cake is baked. If it is damp and watery, does not rise and is pale, increase the baking temperature. If, on the contrary, the crust is cracking on top, and raw inside, we reduce the fire. In general, look at the situation. And good luck with your cupcakes! 🙂

Passing by fresh pastries in the supermarket, we cannot miss the shelf with sweet and fragrant cupcakes. You won’t find any there: vanilla, chocolate, with berries or raisins. However, preparing such a beloved delicacy at home seems to be not an easy task. But, as they say, “the eyes are afraid, but the hands are doing”, and after trying once, you will surely make cupcakes in paper molds, the recipes of which we will now present, as your signature dish.

Paper forms may differ in density, and this characteristic should be treated with particular care. Dense molds are used on their own, while thin molds are inserted into more reliable metal or silicone ones. You can also combine thin and dense forms. Knowing this secret, you will surely prepare perfectly shaped cupcakes.

simple recipe

The uniqueness of this option is that there is no need for long-term whipping of butter into an oil cream, since this ingredient is simply not in the recipe. Instead, vegetable is used, and savory will bring a mixture of a small amount of ginger and cinnamon. So, write it down, because now we will share the simplest of the recipes.

Ingredients:

• Sugar - 1 tablespoon;
• Flour - 1 cup;
• Eggs - 2 pieces;
• Vegetable oil - 4 tablespoons;
• Honey - 2-3 tablespoons;
• Baking powder - 2 teaspoons;
• Cinnamon and ginger - to taste.

Cooking method:

1. In a convenient deep container, mix all the dry ingredients: baking powder, flour (previously sifted) and sugar. If you use spices, then you need to send them there already at this stage.
2. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl until foamy. Then we send them melted in a steam bath (can be in the microwave) or liquid honey and mix everything thoroughly.
3. Now we combine the dry and liquid bases and bring the dough to homogeneity, and only after that we introduce vegetable oil into it, mix again.
4. The oven needs to be heated to 180 degrees, in the meantime, we ourselves lay out the dough in paper forms. They need to be filled no more than 1/3, because under the influence of high temperatures the dough actively increases in volume. You can make a small surprise by putting a fresh or frozen berry, pieces of dried fruit on the bottom of the mold.
5. You need to bake mini-cupcakes according to the recipe at the same 180 degrees from 15 to 20 minutes, it all depends on the features of the oven. Check readiness with a wooden skewer, piercing the center of the cake with it. If you got it completely dry, then the pastry is ready.

Serve with berry or fruit syrup, various types of icing, or just sprinkle with powder.

Classic cupcake recipe

A classic of the genre, it is she who is considered the basis for the preparation of all other variations. This recipe for small cupcakes has been known for more than one century. Of course, today's version is significantly different from those that appeared in England many centuries ago, however, the modern interpretation of the recipe has already become a classic.

Components:

• Butter - 200 grams (can be replaced with a similar amount of margarine);
• Flour - 1 cup;
• Sugar - 1-1.5 cups;
• Eggs - 4 pieces (if large, then 3 can be);
• Salt - a pinch;

As a filler, you can use raisins or other berries and dried fruits, chocolate chips. Their number depends only on your taste preferences.

Let's start cooking:

1. After softening the butter, rub it with sugar until a homogeneous light mass. Then add the eggs to it while continuing to beat. This should be done in portions, introducing one at a time and mixing.
2. Then the dry ingredients are added one by one. Flour must first be sifted. Any of the fillers of your choice can be added to the dough obtained in this way, after which it is thoroughly mixed. If using raisins, pour boiling water over them beforehand, and then sprinkle with a little flour. Such manipulations will help him to be distributed over the test, and not settling at the bottom.
3. The baking temperature should be 180-200 degrees (depending on the oven), and in the meantime we distribute the dough into molds, which we fill in half or 2/3.
4. They need to bake for about 20 minutes. Readiness can be checked as described above.

curd joy

Everyone's favorite cottage cheese muffins can be prepared not only in bulk form, but also by dividing them into small portions. It’s even more convenient, because each cupcake can be decorated separately, making the delicacy even more appetizing.

Components:

• Flour - 200 grams;
• Cottage cheese - 200 grams;
• Eggs - 2-3 pieces;
• Sugar - 150-200 grams;
• Butter - 150 grams;

The process of their preparation is not particularly difficult:

1. Beat the eggs with sugar into a homogeneous thick mass.
2. We grind the cottage cheese through a sieve. It is advisable to take not very wet and greasy, so the cupcake will turn out more airy. Then we send it to the egg mass and mix.
3. Melt the butter and add it to the base of the dough. We mix.
4. Mix the sifted flour with baking powder and add to the dough, kneading it thoroughly. Spices and fillers are also added at this stage.
5. Now we distribute the dough into forms, leaving 1/3 free. We send them to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

You can serve this delicacy both warm and already cooled down with sour cream, fruit sauces or powdered sugar.

Meat muffins

Agree, such an interpretation of them is quite unusual, because we are used to eating them exclusively sweet. Nevertheless, such an unusual dish is able to strike your household on the spot, so it's definitely worth the risk. According to the recipe for muffins with meat, we need the following ingredients:

• Minced meat - 300 grams;
• Potatoes - 5-6 pieces;
• Onion - 1 piece (large);
• Carrots - 1 piece;
• Grated cheese - 1 cup (grate on a coarse grater);
• Eggs - 2 pieces;
• Sour cream - 1 tablespoon.

Cooking:

1. Let the potatoes boil. At this time, fry the minced meat, grated carrots and chopped onions with a small amount of vegetable oil (it is better if it is olive oil).
2. Drain water from boiled potatoes and mash. Add to it minced meat fried with vegetables and ¾ of cheese.
3. Separately beaten eggs are added to our “dough”, leaving about a tablespoon in order to grease the muffins before going into the oven.
4. We fill the forms with dough, simultaneously heating the oven to 190 degrees. Before going to the oven, grease them with an egg mixed with sour cream and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.
5. At this temperature, the cooking time will be approximately 30 minutes. A hint that the cupcakes are ready will be the resulting golden crust.

You can serve ready-made pastries with sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup or other favorite sauce.

Today I will share very simple and delicious cupcakes. We bake vanilla and chocolate muffins. If you make them with a cream, for example, sour cream, then they turn out to be very tender. This is a very simple recipe, the dough is made in just ten minutes. It always seemed to me that these were ordinary cupcakes, nothing special, but a couple of times people told me, they said that these are the most delicious cupcakes they have ever tasted in their lives. In general, I use them as a base recipe, you can add chocolate, berries, etc. Depending on the cream, the taste also changes, of course.

How to bake cupcakes in molds

By the way, I recently received a question about how to bake cupcakes in paper molds. At the girlfriend, the molds opened and the dough flowed out. This seems to be a simple thing, but not all beginners know. I mean the following forms:

If you have such capsules, then they must be inserted into more rigid forms, for example, into a special form for baking cupcakes, or into silicone molds. Or - a budget option - supermarkets sell foil molds for cupcakes, you can also insert paper ones into them and bake.

But there are also paper molds in which you can bake - they are with a stiffener on top. Also a completely common thing, they are sold in any store for confectioners, maybe in other places. Like these ones.

Everything, with digressions over, let's finally move on to the recipe!
