    Summer is strawberry time! Here in Berlin we have those little stalls all over the city, where farmers sell their strawberries, coming directly from the fields close by. They are fresh, tasty and if it’s a good “strawberry summer” they are very cheap :) 

    I normally buy them in 2-kilo-baskets and make everything possible – marmalade, salsa, shakes, cakes and of course cupcakes like these ones here.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with 12 paper liners. In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Wash the strawberries, dry and chop into small pieces.

    2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy – up to 4-5 Minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until incorporated. Add the flour mix in three parts, alternating with the milk. Beat until combined after each addition. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.

    3. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared liners – each should be about two-thirds full. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cupcakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before you take the cupcakes out of the pan. Let cool completely on the rack.

    4. For the buttercream add egg whites and sugar into a large, clean and heat proof bowl. Place on a pot with simmering water to heat up the mixture. Whisk the egg whites and sugar constantly and bring it to a temperature of 160°F (71°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, rub some of the mixture between your finger to test – if the sugar is dissolved completely, you’re done. Remove from heat and whip the mixture in a food processor until it’s white, fluffy and cool (this can take up to 10 minutes). Add the butter slowly in small pieces and continue beating. Don’t worry if the buttercream looks curdled or soupy, it’s easy to fix! If the buttercream is too cold, just put the bowl in a double boiler again for a few seconds and whip again. If it’s too hot, just put it in the fridge for a few minutes and whip. Add vanilla extract. If you want a buttercream with bigger strawberrie pieces, fold in the strawberries carefully. If you aim for a smooth (and more pink) buttercream, throw the strawberries into the bowl and whip it with the food processor until smooth.

    5. Fill buttercream into a piping bag with a large round tip or a star tip (with bigger strawberry pieces I would reccomend the round tip, otherwise the pieces can get stuck). Pipe onto cupcakes and decorate with sliced strawberries (optional). Store in fridge until serving.

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Cupcakeform mit 12 Papierförmchen vorbereiten. In einer Schüssel Mehl sieben und mit Backpulver und Salz mischen. Zur Seite stellen. Erdbeeren waschen, trocken tupfen und in kleine Stücke schneiden.

    2. In der Schüssel einer Küchenmaschine die Butter mit dem Zucker für ca. 4-5 Minuten aufschlagen, bis die Masse hell und luftig ist. Ei und Vanille Extrakt zugeben und weiter aufschlagen, bis sich alles gut vermischt hat. Mehl-Mix in drei gleichen Teilen, abwechselnd mit der Milch zugeben und jedes mal gut verrühren. Erdbeeren vorsichtig unterheben.

    3. Teig gleichmässig auf die Förmchen verteilen. Förmchen sollten in etwa zu 2/3 gefüllt sein. Im Ofen für ca. 20 Minuten backen oder bis sie goldbraun sind – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Aus dem Backofen nehmen und für ca. 5 Minuten in der Form auskühlen lassen – dann herausnehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    4. Für die Buttercreme das Eiweiß und den Zucker in einer hitzebeständigen Schüssel über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser aufschlagen. Unter ständigem rühren soweit erhitzen, bis die Masse eine Temperatur von 71°C erreicht hat. Sollte kein Thermometer zur Hand sein, kann man testen, ob man fertig ist, indem man etwas von der Masse zwischen den Fingern verreibt – hat sich der Zucker komplett aufgelöst, kann man die Schüssel vom Herd nehmen. Ist die Temperatur erreicht, mit einer Küchenmaschine die Masse so lange aufschlagen, bis sie weiß, luftig und kühl ist (das kann bis zu 10 Minuten dauern). Die Butter langsam in kleinen Stücken zugeben und weiteraschlagen. Sollte die Buttercreme flockig oder “suppig” aussehen, dann ist das kein Problem und leicht zu beheben. Wenn die Buttercreme zu kalt und flockig ist, einfach noch einmal kurz auf den Topf mit dem heißen Wasser stellen und kurz erwärmen – ist die Buttercreme zu warm und flüssig, einfach ein paar Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen zum Abkühlen und dann erneut aufschlagen. Vanille Extrakt zugeben. Soll es eine Buttercreme mit größeren Erdbeerstückchen sein, die Erdbeeren vorsichtig unterheben – soll es eher eine glatte (und in dem Fall auch eher pinke) Buttercreme sein, dann die Erdbeeren einfach mit in die Küchenmaschine geben und solange aufschlagen, bis eine homogene Masse entsteht.

    5. Buttercreme in einen Spritzbeutel füllen – entweder mit großer runder Tülle oder mit großer Sterntülle – und Cupcakes damit verzieren. Vorsicht bei der Sterntülle – wenn die Buttercreme größere Erdbeerstücke hat, verstopft das schnell mal). Je nach Belieben noch mit Erdbeerscheiben verzieren und bis zum Servieren kühlstellen.

    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. ;)
