Ingredients
flour	345gr
ground ginger	2h l.
ground cinnamon	1h l.
ground cloves	1 / 4h l.
ground nutmeg	1 / 4h l.
salt	1h l.
baking powder	2h l.
brown sugar	135gr
white sugar	225gr
softened butter	230gr
eggs	4 things
vanilla extract	1 tsp
milk	300ml (better than 260)

Cooking method

• For those who are not in the know - we all went crazy here with the Nordic Ware forms, so the recipe is native to this form)). Sooooo fragrant, sooooo spicy, New Year's / Christmas ... Getting ready for the New Year, training!
• Preheat the oven to 165 degrees (I heated it up to 155 with convection). Grease the mold with butter and very easy to dust with flour. For this cupcake it is better to powder it. The dough can be very plastic.
• Mix flour, salt, baking powder with all the spices. Set aside. Beat butter and sugar for 3 minutes until whitening, add eggs one at a time and beat on medium speed. Then reduce the mixing speed and gradually add flour mixture and milk. I took dark muscovado as brown sugar, and there is a lot of molasses in it, so I reduced the milk. But I also advise you, because the dough is very plastic.
• Distribute the dough in the prepared form and bake for 55-65 minutes at 165 degrees. Take out the finished cake (the readiness is checked with a splinter / toothpick, which should come out of it dry) from the oven and let it rest in the form for 10 minutes, and then remove it.

Note

I forgot to buy sugar pencils for decoration.

Take the baking dishes from me. Until I bake everything and try all the forms - I will not calm down. If at least someone else, at least somewhere on the forum, will show all kinds of baking dishes, I will strangle with my bare hands!))) Although, not - my husband will strangle. He, the poor, eats, eats and eats. And when he climbs on the scales and breaks them - that's it. A storm will begin))

)))) Natasha, you just have to buy a scale for potatoes)))) Until you break it, bake :))) Bake to your health !!! A super house turned out!)))) Ulyanka is happy !!!

Yes, Natus, the house is charming!

Natasha, I bought myself such a uniform too. But so far I was too lazy to translate the recipe. What a fine fellow you are _ and translated, and already baked. Clever girl! So let's bake house cupcakes for Christmas.

[lungwort]

Ulyashka has not seen it yet))). Wow, there will be joy. She demanded from me a cupcake from the Honeycomb mold: "I want a pcel!" And then he will see the house ... I will be sure to bake such a house for NG.

lungwort,
I'm quite good at sight-reading, so I didn't really bother translating. I wasted more time rubbing the clove, which was not in the powder))

The house is very beautiful!

Natalia, paint it as soon as possible and show it!

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Nata, a wonderful house turned out !! And what is his size and weight? He's still alive, haven't you eaten? Can we weigh?

Nata, what a beauty! I also want this form.

[Husky]

Husky,

I haven't touched it yet, it is cooling down. Cool down - I'll try to weigh it.

what a pretty house! but I have no forms

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Nata, did you grind cloves in a mortar? And another completely stupid question - did you separate the bud from the sepal in a carnation?

[Nata]

NataI'm lying in a swoon! No, not in a swoon, just in shock! 🔗
That's so beautiful! Thank you for such a positive! We need to reconsider our attitude to these forms.

Where are these forms sold?
Very nice. I was sure that you couldn't get pastries out of such curly molds without damage. It turns out I was wrong))

Already found a topic about these forms)

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Nata, did you grind cloves in a mortar? And another completely stupid question - did you separate the bud from the sepal in a carnation?

I did not separate anything from anyone. I just rubbed it with passion in a mortar, and then sifted through a small sieve.))

[Tuska]

Tuska, the sample has already been removed, hesitate to ask?

Hefty sweet?

By the way, I have been tormented by the question for a long time ...

Now, if we reduce the amount of sugar in the author's recipe, does this entail some disastrous consequences?

Well, there, we can the consistency of the dough suffers or something ...

Or is it depending on how much sugar to cut?

I always worry ... I cut it down and worry again ... and so from time to time ...

I always worry ... I cut it down and worry again ... and so from time to time ...

Inna, you are my joy)) Well, don't worry so much)) Although not all recipes can painlessly reduce sugar) For example, in a meringue, you shouldn't do this, or in a cream meringue (we call Wet meringue).

[Crochet]

Crochet,

Well, sweet, of course, like a cupcake)). It's a confectionery. I think sugar can be reduced, but within some limits. By a third, for example. I've done it repeatedly in muffins / pies and nothing like. Cupcakes are very sensitive to butter cut, tested.

And the cupcake is really delicious. Spicy like that, but not crazy, but charming.

Scarecrow, Natasha! Why are you suffering with cloves in a mortar? She's so tough! I throw all the necessary spices into the grinder and go! Then I also sift through a strainer and into the dough! There is less waste because the grind is thinner. I already did this and that.

[Ilona]

Ilona,

Of all the unmilled, I had only a clove. And you need 1/4 tsp. Chesslovo - it takes longer to take out the coffee grinder and then collect this 1/4 tsp on it))).

and I would also throw all the ground in there for volume and grind it!

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Nata, thank you for your answer.

Scarecrow, Natasha! Why are you suffering with cloves in a mortar? She's so tough! I throw all the necessary spices into the grinder and go! Then I also sift through a strainer and into the dough! There is less waste because the grind is thinner. I already did this and that.

Ilona, ​​does the type of coffee grinder matter? I have Bork and it’s somehow scary to use it that way. Can buy a cheap one for such purposes?

[Chuchenka]

very easy to powder with flour. It's better to powder for this cupcake

Chuchenka, and you powdered ?!

Even somehow it is finally not noticeable ...

With me, even if it is lightly, lightly, all one thing is noticeable ... well, to me, at least ...

Inna, you are my joy

Ilona, I also love you very much ...

Ilona, but in the cupcakes you allowed the identity, if anything, huh?

sugar can be reduced. By a third, for example.

Tus, thank you !!!

I'm starting to cut it by a third !!!

Under your responsibility ...

[Crochet]

Crochet,

Powdered, powdered. This I powdered so super-professionally that nothing is visible))).

Natasha! A wonderful house turned out! Is it removable from the mold well? I have different silicone molds, so there were problems. Want to buy.

[Yutan]

Yutan,

Well, I did everything as it says on the package: I smeared it with oil, dust it with flour. gave a rest 10 minutes after baking and jumped out like this.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Natasha, thanks for the quick reply. This option suits me very much. I'm going to order. It's better than poking around with the house in parts for a week. my husband and I had enough last year - we baked and assembled the house for a whole week. And here I baked and decorated in the form !!!

Krosh, in muffins too))) Natasha wrote you everything right. I, too, do not really like very sweet things and sometimes subtract them.

[Ilona]

Ilona, I somehow ground a clove in a coffee grinder. Since then, I have had a badly scratched lid on the grinder. The carnation is hard enough, no more risk. Although you have to try very hard to find ground.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Nata, a wonderful house turned out !! And what is his size and weight? He's still alive, haven't you eaten? Can we weigh?

Weighed-measured! Weighed 1kg 200g, overall dimensions - 15 by 23 cm.I forgot to measure only the height ...

And I bought myself these forms on the market
🔗
I really want to make these houses according to Natasha's recipe!

[Reduced milk in general to 220 ml]

Reduced milk in general to 220 ml.
That's when I liked the consistency of the dough.

I decorated the decorations, because I want to present it tomorrow at home.

Well, who builds like that ?! Well, who builds like that, I ask ?!

You on purpose, huh ?!

Schaub I was jealous ?!

Be proud, you have achieved your goal ...

Well, who builds like that ?! Well, who builds like that, I ask ?!

I thought at first. what are you talking about my crooked hands))). Because she really decorated it))). Finally, the children asked: "Let us decorate the house for Aunt Christine!" I barely ripped it out. Otherwise I would have borne such a scabby that my decorations would seem like the height of art!))

Did you see I opened the topic on Kitchen's toaster? And I even shot a piece of video. My husband laughed for a long time over my video ...))

I thought at first. what are you talking about my crooked hands)))

Let my tongue dry out ...

What !!!

I barely saw your teremok, I immediately began to pack the curlers !!!

Otherwise, I would have carried such a scabby

I don't know what amused me so much, but I'm under the table ...

All I could imagine was such a little little tower, kindly painted with the flowers of life ...

Have you seen the topic I opened on the Kitchen's toaster?

Of course not !!!

And now I saw it !!!

Now I'll watch the video and press the "Order" button ...

He's been hanging out in my basket for three days, well, in general, since you poked me at him) ...

I am still carrying a blender ...

Yesterday should have been ...

Now moved to Tuesday ...

My husband laughed for a long time over my video ...))

Everything is going there !!!

I never found anything to laugh at ...

Natasha, it's a very elegant and festive house!
(I haven’t bought any form yet... )

[Crochet]

Crochet,

Above the last button, which I forgot why.)))

Kras-Vlas,

Why are you fighting back by hand dignity? People are going crazy, but she sits dreamily, resting her cheek with her palm))) ...

Yes, I'm so indecisive .... (where to put something?)

[Nata]

Nata, thanks a lot for the recipe! Made strictly according to your recipe, milk 220ml. in the form of "Castle" I forgot to take it off right away, and then took it away. Very tasty, my ass burned (I have a small stove), I ate it with pleasure, I will definitely bake it again! Replaced ground ginger with fresh blended ginger. The cloves in a mortar are finely chopped, I was afraid of the amount of spices, but they perfectly "dissolved" in the cake!
The stones around the castle did not work. (((rises in a chunk, but does not fill the edges
I think, in "Gifts" and the leftovers in something else, because the gifts are smaller, and the cupcake is delicious
He baked at 220, the thermometer showed 160g. So I am very glad that there is a thermometer for small stoves, it is necessary

and Happy New Year!

[Lettera]

Lettera,

What stones? Do you have a slightly different shape? A! Ospidya, you need to read carefully, the form of the Castle))). Otherwise, I think, where did you find stones in the New Year's huts?)))

My little trees usually don't work out. Immediately, when I pour the dough, I throw a little dough into them. Because, like you, it rises with a small dome in the center, but does not fill the reliefs at the edges.

Yes, I immediately pointed out that it is very harmonious in terms of spices.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, yeah, the shape is different. There is a native coconut cake, as far as I remember, but I wanted to make a New Year's.
I threw the dough on the "porch" so it immediately baked and then fell off, during transportation, because, probably, I didn’t put it too much. , then these edges (I have a "porch") are quickly baked and already remain thin, and the rising dough does not reach there. Probably something needs to be "restored" after baking.
In "gifts" I think this will not happen, I will try not to forget to take it off and post it here

[Scarecrow]

My "gingerbread" house!
🔗

It was baked in the form of a Hut in a winter forest. Even teoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ...
The aroma is incomparable !!! For the whole house.
Scarecrow, Natasha, thanks for the recipe!

When you try, you will like it even more!))

I liked it already!
I split off a piece from an inconspicuous place on the bottom ...
Natasha, but if you pour it on top with something like impregnation ... Should this be done, so the cupcake is warm or will it cool?

Natasha, what would you add inside? candied fruit? raisins? do you want something to taste joyful?
I don't have such a form, I'll probably try to bake cupcakes in silicone
echo with hefty relish ...

It is very self-sufficient, really "gingerbread and spicy", you don't need anything else in the dough, though I cooked lemon cream according to Natasha's recipe, someone liked it with this cream, but mostly they ate without everything, just delicious tea and cake

[A.lenka]

A.lenka,

When warm. But only the top layer will be impregnated. And if you water it very strongly with impregnation, the top layer can turn into porridge.

eye,

I would not add anything. It's spicy. Candied raisins with spices are not the most interesting option. Maybe almonds.

Maybe almonds.

ABOUT! That's what I forgot, I wanted to lay out the "tiles" with petals and forgot ... Next time I'll try to remember
