Black and redcurrant cupcake recipes

In the season of berry picking, many will be pleased with the currant cake, which is distinguished by the tenderness of a biscuit and the bright taste of black and red fruits.

Secrets of making cupcakes with currants

In order to get an airy, tender cake with red or black currants, you need to knead the dough correctly – spend a minimum of time moving from the bottom of the container up and not forgetting about accuracy. Moreover, it is necessary to obtain the consistency of thick sour cream or condensed milk.

When baking a dessert, you should not open the oven too often, as this action threatens that the biscuit will fall off. After the biscuit is cooked, it is recommended to let it rest for 10-15 minutes, so that later there will be no difficulty in removing the dessert from the mold.

For the described biscuit, both fresh and frozen or even dried berries are suitable. If currants were used in the preparation of the dessert, which had previously been in the freezer, then baking will take a little longer.

Also, red or black currants must be sorted out before the dessert preparation process: there should be no rotten berries, moldy fruits, insects, leaves and branches.

In addition, some bakers advise rolling the berries in flour or starch when preparing pastries, which will help to avoid the “wetness” effect that occurs due to the fruit juice flowing out.
