I wanted to make these cupcakes for quite some time. I love filled bee sting cake! A lot!

Dunno if all of you know this cake – it’s a traditional German bake and can be found in almost every bakery here in Germany. It’s a yeast cake with a vanilla cream filling and caramelized almonds on top. Pretty basic recipe but soooooo delicious :) I love it most, when the vanilla cream filling is larger than the actual cake… mmm :)

These cupcakes are an adapted version of this classic cake. The cupcakes are made with a basic cupcake batter (no yeast). Regarding the buttercream I was a bit lazy – normally I would make a Swiss Meringue Buttercream (it’s the best!). BUT the cupcakes had to be ready quickly and I had a container of Marshmallow Fluff in my kitchen that had to be used – baaam – Marshmallow Vanilla Buttercream almost done in no time ;)

If you don’t like that Marshmallow Fluff stuff or can’t find it in your supermarket – make the topping with this buttercream recipe – it is also quite easy to make.

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

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

2. In a large bowl add butter, sugar, salt and lemon zest and beat until light and fluffy (4-5 minutes). Add the eggs, one by one, beating well after each addition. Add yoghurt and mix well. Mix the flour with baking powder and the ground almonds. Add to the butter-egg mix and mix. Do not overmix. Fill the paper liners 2/3 full and bake in the middle of the oven for 14-15 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down in the tins for some time and then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely.

3. For the frosting add the butter to the bowl of a food processor or electric mixer and beat for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the marshmallow fluff in small portions and mix well. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Transfer to a piping bag with a round tip and set aside.

4. For the almond topping prepare a baking sheet with baking parchment. Slightly brown the almonds in a non-stick pan. Take out of the pan and set aside. Add the sugar to a sauce pan and let caramelize at medium heat. Carefully add the butter and stir (be careful it might bubble a lot). Add honey and stir. Add the heavy cream and stir. Finally add the browned almonds and mix all well. With the help of two teaspoons place small amounts of the mix on the prepared baking sheet and let cool completely.

5. Pipe a small amount of the frosting on each cupcake and decorate with the caramelized almonds.

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

2. In einer großen Schüssel Butter, Zucker, Salz und Zitronenschale schaumig aufschlagen (4-5 Minuten). Die Eier einzeln zugeben und jeweils gut verrühren. Joghurt zugeben und verrühren. Mehl mit Backpulver und Mandeln vermischen und unter die Butter-Ei Masse heben. Teig gleichmässig auf die Papierförmchen verteilen und die Förmchen dabei etwa zu 2/3 füllen. In der Mitte des Ofens für 14-15 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen, kurz in der Form abkühlen lassen und dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

3. Für das Frosting die Butter mit der Küchenmaschine oder einem Schneebesen für ca. 5 Minuten schaumig aufschlagen. Marshmallow Fluff löffelweise zugeben und unterrühren. Vanille Extrakt zugeben und noch einmal aufschlagen. In einen Spritzbeutel mit runder Tülle füllen und zur Seite legen.

4. Für das Mandeltopping ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen. Die gehobelten Mandeln in einer Pfanne ohne Fett unter Wenden kurz anrösten. Aus der Pfanne nehmen und zur Seite stellen. Zucker in einem Topf bei schwacher Hitze karamellisieren lassen. Butter zugeben und unterrühren (vorsicht, schäumt auf!). Honig zugeben, unterrühren und zum Schluss die Sahne zugeben und unterrühren. Gehobelte Mandeln unterrühren. Mit Teelöffeln kleine Klekse auf das vorbereitete Backblech geben und abkühlen lassen.

5. Auf jeden Cupcake einen Tupfen Frosting aufspritzen und mit den karamellisierten Mandeln dekorieren.

    die sehen köstlich aus…
    Ich liebe Bienstich,
    Aber habe noch nie was von marshmallow fluff gehört.
    Ist das eine Creme? Bekomme ich das in jedem Supermarkt?
    Grüße

      Hallo Tanja,
      Marshmallow Fluff bekommt man in Supermärkten, die zB ein Regal mit Amerikanischen Lebensmitteln haben. In vielen größeren Supermärkten ist das mittlerweile der Fall. Aber Marshmallow Fluff kann man auch selbst machen. Besteht hauptsächlich aus Eiweiß und Zucker. Einfache Rezepte findet man leicht bei Google. Grüße Marc

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. ;)
