70 g of sweet sprinkle

230 g of crystal sugar

1 mold with a removable bottom lined with baking paper (20 cm in diameter by 10 cm in height)

50 ml of water

Just mix the two ingredients, and you're done.

 

Dough preparation method:

First, mix the rice flour, sweet sprinkles, and cornstarch. Then, in the bowl of a mixer, place the eggs and sugar. Beat until doubled in volume; it may take approximately 5 minutes. After doubled in volume, take the mixture to a bain-marie until the dough reaches 54°C and is warm. If you do not have a thermometer, test it using your finger; once it's warm, it's ready. Then remove from the bain-marie and add the flour, mixing little by little and stirring slowly with a whisk until all the flour is incorporated. Pour into the mold and bake in a preheated oven at 180° for 30 to 40 minutes, or do the test on the toothpick; if it comes out dry, it's ready.

Orange Cupcake with Chantilly

 

The cupcake recipe emerged in England in the 17th century. The first written record of a cupcake was in 1796, in the book "American Cookery" by Amelia Simmons. In the book, Simmons describes a cupcake as "a cake to be baked in little cups".


Cupcakes were originally made with simple ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. They were baked in small clay or ceramic cups and served as a simple dessert.


In the 19th century, cupcakes started to become more popular in the United States. This was due to the fact that the United States was becoming a more urbanized country, and people were starting to have less time to cook. Cupcakes were a convenient and easy-to-make option, and they quickly became a popular dessert.


In the 20th century, cupcakes started to become even more popular. This was due to the fact that people started to care more about their health, and cupcakes were a healthier option than traditional cakes. Cupcakes also began to be served on special occasions, such as weddings and birthdays.
