    Red Currant is one of few berries, I hardly buy on the farmers market when they are in season – just because I don’t know many recipes where I could use them. I know them mainly as decoration on desserts ;)

    It’s shame because they are very healthy – red currant has more Vitamin C than a lemon! Luckily I found this recipe, so I can actually use and eat this delicious berries more often! Let’s make some Red Currant Meringue Cupcakes for everyone! Enjoy baking!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line muffin tins with paper liners.

    2. Wash and clean the currants (save some for the decoration), remove the stalks and let dry. Mix the currants with the sugar and set aside.

    3. Melt the butter and let cool for a few minutes. Whisk together the eggs, confectioner’s sugar, milk and melted butter. Mix the flour with the baking powder and fold into the egg mixture until well combined. Carefully fold in the sugared currants. Fill into the prepared muffin tins and bake for 25-30 minutes.

    4. While the cupcakes are baking prepare the meringue. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Slowly add the sugar and ginger (optional) and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Top the cupcakes with the meringue – either with a tablespoon or fill into a piping bag and pipe onto the cupcakes. Bake for another 10 minutes until the meringue starts to brown slightly. Turn off the heat and open the oven, but let cupcakes in the oven for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a cooling rack. Decorate with the reserved currants.

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Muffinbleche mit Papierförmchen bestücken.

    2. Die Johannisbeeren abwaschen (einige Rispen mit Beeren zur Seite legen für die Dekoration), Stiele entfernen und abtropfen lassen. Die Beeren mit dem Zucker vermischen und zur Seite stellen.

    3. Butter schmelzen und für einige Minuten abkühlen lassen. Die Eier mit dem Puderzucker, Milch und der geschmolzenen Butter verrühren. Mehl mit Backpulver vermischen und unter den Ei-Mix heben, bis alles gut verrührt ist. Vorsichtig die Johannisbeeren unterheben. Teig in die Papierförmchen füllen und für 25-30 Minuten backen.

    4. Während die Cupcakes backen, die Meringue vorbereiten. Dazu das Eiweiß aufschlagen, bis sich Spitzen formen. Langsam Zucker und Ingwer (optional) einrieseln lassen und weiter aufschlagen, bis das Eiweiß komplett steif ist. Eiweiß auf den Cupcakes verteilen – entweder mit einem Eßlöffel oder mit einem Spritzbeutel aufspritzen. Für weitere 10 Minuten backen, bis die Meringue anfängt leicht braun zu werden. Den Ofen ausschalten und öffnen und die Cupcakes bei offener Tür noch 2-3 Minuten im Ofen lassen. Auf einem Kuchengitter dann komplett auskühlen lassen und mit den zurückgehaltenen Johannisbeerrispen dekorieren.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
