Blueberry cupcakes recipe
- 10 Egg whites
- 1 tsp Cream of tartar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 250 g (8.8oz) Caster sugar
- 125 g (4.4oz) Plain (white) flour
- 24 Sifted large fresh blueberries
- 150 g (5.3oz) Butter - For the frosting
- 400 g (14.1oz) Icing sugar - For the frosting
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract - For the frosting
- 150 Blueberries - For the frosting
- Heat the oven to 180C.
- Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until foamy.
- Sprinkle the cream of tartar and the vanilla extract over them and continue whisking until the mixture is stiff but not dry.
- Add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until mixture forms soft peaks.
- Fold the flour in with a metal spoon, blending it thoroughly without breaking down the aerated egg whites.
- Spoon the mixture into 2 cupcake or Yorkshire pudding tins with or without 24 cupcake cases.
- A large rounded tablespoon of the cake mix should be about right.
- Pop a blueberry gently into the centre of each cake, but be careful not to knock out to much air from the batter.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, remove and leave it to cool.
- To make the frosting, simmer the blueberries in a saucepan until most of the berries burst and release their liquids.
- Mash gently with a wooden spoon and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until cold.
- Mix the butter and icing sugar together into a smooth paste.
- Add vanilla extract and chilled blueberries.
- Pipe or spread the frosting over the cupcakes and serve.
