Cupcakes, muffins, cupcakes. Questions and answers

Baking powder is an ordinary baking powder, in the recipe according to which I always bake a cake there is 1.5 tsp of soda but there is a decent amount of liquid and oil ... the cake is always airy but not dry ... there were never any punctures

Can you please tell me what is baking powder? I added baking powder to the muffins, it turns out bricks. Maybe just pour more powder?

Baking powder is baking powder. Consists (usually) of soda and some acidic component. Together, they start to let the gas cars, which we need to make the dough.

It is very important at what point you add it and how you behave with it in general. It begins to react IMMEDIATELY as soon as it combines with liquid components. ideally, you should mix it well with flour, separately knead everything else (butter-eggs-sugar) and at the very end combine the flour with liquid. After that, do not knead and beat for a long time and do not beat - just stir. And immediately bake, so that the soda-acid reaction that has begun does not go "idle".

You can just add soda, but it is risky, especially if there are no or few acidic components in the dough (lemon, fruit, fermented milk) - the soda may simply not fully react and remain in the dough, giving a high-quality soapy taste (remember the 9th grade chemistry experiments? fat + baking soda + high temperature = soap)

Some people practice the "hereditary" method of "extinguishing" soda with vinegar in a spoon. Then the reaction takes place (for the most part) in the air. And all the gas that your dough should loosen also goes to the ceiling. Although a certain amount of unreacted soda still remains, and gives rise to the dough.
If you really want to give up factory mixes, then you can simply use plain soda + DRY citric acid - this is, in fact, the same baking powder. In the west, instead of lemon, they use wine and stone, but here it is exotic.

Uv. members of the forum, tell me why the muffin dough rises unevenly, mounds? Baked in a rectangular shape.

Hello dear forum users, bakers.
We bought cotton Delonghi 1200s, baked the first bread, liked it very much, delicious, ate it right away. But when they rushed to bake a cake, it turned out that for this model there is no recipe and function for baking a cake. The kids are asking him very much, but I can't think of anything. I looked through the entire forum, searched the Internet, and did not find anything. I have a big request, can someone bake a cake in this model of the oven, if so, could you share the recipe, or your little trick when baking a cake in this particular model of Delonghi 1200s. I will be very grateful in advance.

[vitim333]

vitim333 , your oven has program # 10 "Cake" and program # 12 "Baking". "Cake" is a cupcake too. If you still need to suggest something, then ask.

No, I don't bake cakes. And program number 10 is called FORNO (OVEN). That is, if you select this program, then the device can be used as a conventional electric oven, this mode is turned on for 1 hour, and is manually controlled ...

I'm here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@Itemid=65&id=123&option=com_content&task=view downloaded the instructions, it is written that there is ... then an error.

Then you can mix the ingredients yourself, and bake in the KhP on the "Pastry".

Do you have an oven on your farm?

Also read this topic about cupcakes in HP
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=187.0
The choice is large, you can look after the recipe to your liking.

Vitim, I'm ready to help you figure it out. See I have a 125 model. I assume that the temperatures of both of our stoves should be the same. In my instructions there is a table with temperature regimes almost at the very end, I think you have. Please look and write down the mode and temperature here in two columns. I tried to look at your instructions on the Internet and there the cake number 10 mode is indicated and there is a recipe
150 ml. milk
1 egg + 1 yolk
60 g softened butter
250 g flour
1 pinch of salt
12 g dry active yeast
100 grams of sugar
40 g cocoa with sugar
This recipe is also in my instructions, it is given to the KEKS program. Maybe you only have it under a different name. And also in my instructions there is a table with the time and temperature conditions, and so the cake is baked in it for 40 minutes. at a temperature of 125 degrees, look maybe you will find and tell me what and how.
I didn't bake a cupcake according to this recipe, there are a great many excellent recipes on the forum.

Dear Gabi. Thanks for the recipe. But the fact is that there is no program for baking a cake in my model, and there is also no temperature regime in the form of a table.
I downloaded instructions for your oven from the Internet, I was amazed at the number of functions and settings when baking different types of bread, etc. so on. I will get acquainted, I will come up with something from your and my instructions. And the eight will work out.

I wish you good luck, you can try some simple recipe with a minimum of products to bake on baked goods, for which you will know for sure whether you can or not.

And when you make cupcakes or other pastries in a bucket, put baking paper? just in the instructions for Panas it is written that you need

No, you don't need paper - butter dough and a non-stick bucket.

Hello. They gave me a bakery and now I am reading, looking for recipes. I want a cupcake. But there is no "cupcake" function and no cake. Apart from basic breads, there are pizza, dairy, jam and pastries. Means, if for a cake, then knead by hand and set the baking mode? Answer please. There are master bakers here. Help a newbie please

[Lizavetka]

Means, if for a cake, then knead by hand and set the baking mode?

Lizavetka
That's right. Knead the muffin dough, put it in the HP container and bake in the "Baking" mode with a light crust. Happy cupcakes!

Thanks Krosh. I will definitely try it on the weekend. Yesterday I tested the oven. It's unfortunate. But today the bread turned out with a bang

Hello everybody! Today I baked a cake for the first time in my life. It was baked, it seemed to have risen (in the middle with a hill), I added raisins by eye. Everything is OK, but the corners are burnt. There was nothing about the color of the crust in the instructions. I have not touched this function. Could the corners be overcooked because of this?

In BAKE mode, the crust color cannot be adjusted. Try to bake less the next time, about 15 minutes, and leave the cupcake to "reach" in the HP.

Thank you, Lika. My husband tried it. Is talking. that there is not enough airiness. And everything is delicious. And what to do with airiness?

Try another recipe. In principle, any cake recipe from this section can be baked in HP, look at the reviews. Knead by hand and bake.

I ask the experts for advice! Today I decided to bake a cupcake for the first time, I took the recipe from the recipe book for my oven. Mixed everything up as written. The cake turned out to be tiny, about 2 cm from the sides, 5-6 in the center. After all my lush bread, some kind of slap! It tastes nothing, of course, but I think it should have turned out to be something higher. Can you please tell me how high the cupcake should be?

It tastes nothing, of course, but I think it should have turned out to be something higher. Can you please tell me how high the cupcake should be?

The cupcake will not fit under the lid - this is not a yeast dough. The baking powder certainly pushes, but not as much. Yes, the muffin dough should be plump. plus many recipes initially go to a small "loaf" (except, for example, a kilogram of the capital) in terms of the volume of components (for example, a glass of flour).

Thanks for the answer! I really have a recipe for a glass of flour. But somehow the dough was tight. True, I read here that you need to mix very quickly and immediately bake.And I got a delay (the bucket got wet after the bread). Maybe that's why? Next time I'll try a proven recipe from the forum. I think everything will work out

Has anyone tried baking sugarless muffins with substitutes? What do you need to change in the recipe, add liquids?
Something I can’t do anything. They almost do not rise.

Hello!

Help me please, I recently bought a VR BM-4002V bread maker, an inexpensive oven, I learned how to bake delicious white bread. I really want to learn how to bake muffins, I recently tried a recipe from the instructions to bake a cake, it turned out to be mildly incomprehensible miracle with the taste of an omelet ... I hammered everything into a mixer without putting flour on it, then added flour and loaded it into the mold, the result was thrown away.

Please tell me a simple proven recipe for a 500g cupcake and how to prepare it .. sequence of operations. My oven has a Cupcake mode, only 500g cupcake in it.

Thank you in advance!

[here]

Read here.

Thank you! but unfortunately this does not suit me a little ... I need a recipe for 500g of cake and from the simplest products.

Thank you! but unfortunately this does not suit me a little ... I need a recipe for 500g of cake and from the simplest products.

You were given a link to Temka with cupcakes. There you can also choose a recipe for yourself, in extreme cases, count on the amount of flour you need. And after reading Temko you will find out what and how forum users do. Gain experience.

On Sunday I tried the recipe:

1 glass of kefir,
125 g margarine,
2 eggs,
1 cup of sugar,
2 cups of flour,
1 bag of baking powder
100 g raisins

Only instead of margarine I put butter (apparently less than 125g by the eye), did not use raisins, and instead of 200g glasses measured 1 cup in a measuring glass. For some reason, the hat was almost flat and light, and the bottom and sides were baked and in the middle it was not baked to the end, but it was already possible to eat it. Tell me what you did wrong?

I can't find recipes for delicious cupcakes. A lean cake recipe is especially needed. Until now, muffins are obtained that look like sweet bread, but how the store-bought taste does not work ... Teach.
Lean recipes are very much needed.

Thank you in advance.

Good day to all! Help me figure out the problem! decided on a cupcake (xp Daewoo)! I threw all the ingredients at once (mode 2h 40m cupcake). Everything is super, but .... the hat fell and there was no baked dough under it .. The second time I reduced the amount of butter --- the story is the same, only the opal was a little less and the dough was better baked, but it was tiny. Today was a complete disaster! The hat fell down! the center is damp! barely shook it out! first the upper half fell off, the lower one tore off. All products are the same! What was it? I'm afraid to bake again ...

mode 2h 40m cake

Sorry, I didn't quite understand, are we talking about a yeast cake or a baking / soda cake? Judging by the time of your "Keks" program, it's still about yeast ... for a cake with baking powder (baking powder), it's too much ...
The recipe for your cupcake in the studio, boom to understand the whole world!

yeast-free. I read the recipe here. now I will not give it with accuracy (I lost a leaf). but something like this: 200 ml of salting butter, 250g of flour, 350g of sugar, 50g of cocoa, 3 eggs, an hour of soda and salt ...

[Crumble]

I support Crumble - there cannot be such a long program for baking powder dough. I don’t know your oven, but I suspect a glitch in the instructions - we are talking about sweet bread.

in principle, yes, it looks more like a biscuit, something between a biscuit and a cake ...

It doesn't matter what it looks like, the main thing is that it is yeast-free, so it absolutely doesn't need proofing.

and how to be?

[sauleff]

To bake a yeast-free cake in HP, you need a short-mix program + baking. Maybe your HP has a similar one? Alternatively: knead the cake by hand, or use the "Dough" program and bake in the "Bake" mode, select the baking time depending on the size of the cake.

And on your Keks program you can bake excellent yeast cakes!

Thank you! there is a standard baking program 1 h 30 min. let's try .....

Girls, help !!!! For some reason, in my cupcakes, raisins always end up at the bottom! I put it dry in the dough.

Girls, help !!!! For some reason, in my cupcakes, raisins always end up at the bottom! I put it dry in the dough.

So that the raisins are evenly distributed in the cake, it is recommended to wash the raisins, dry them slightly and roll them in flour.

Girls, hello! I really need your advice-hint in solving the problem
when baking muffins in the oven in a silicone mold. Baked in a mold
for the first time - no experience with silicone. The cupcake rose and baked well
but that's bad luck - the ribs of the top are burnt (that is, not the open part of the cake,
and the bottom layer, which is the bottom in the mold). Installed the mold itself
on a baking sheet, put parchment under it and set it in the oven on a medium
level. The oven is modern, the baking in the pan is wonderful, but
After all, cupcakes from the mold are prettier !! Maybe someone faced a similar problem
and somehow solved it? Alternatively, place the mold directly on the wire rack.
in the oven and not on a baking sheet? Help me to understand!!

Tell me, is it possible to simply replace it with yeast in recipes for muffins on a baking powder, and is it then necessary to change something in the recipe? And how much yeast to pour, like in bread, depending on the amount of flour?

[(cup included 230 ml)]

Hello members of the forum. I have a question:
Presented with HP LG-2001BY. I decided to bake a cupcake according to the user manual attached to the oven.
The recipe is as follows:
Cupcake for coffee
(cup included 230 ml)
Ingredients:
Wheat flour - 1 cup and 2 spoons
Salt - 0.5 teaspoon
Baking powder for dough - 1 teaspoon
Sugar - 0.3 cups
Softened butter - 0.3 cups
Milk - 45 ml
Egg - 2 pcs.
Glaze:
Flour - 0.3 cups
Sugar - 0.25 cups
Oil - 2 tablespoons
Cinnamon - oh, 5 teaspoon

The question is this: It is written to whip the ingredients for the glaze in a small cup. Flour - 0.3 cups - how much is it in milliliters? If 72 ml, then how to beat 72 ml of flour, 60 ml of sugar and only 2 tablespoons of butter ???

Thank you in advance

[Galinalenta]

Galinalenta, and what actually confuses you? Just mix (well, or whisk with a fork) all the ingredients and your icing is ready, 30 gr. butter (this is exactly how much 2 tablespoons contain) is quite enough to bind flour with sugar.

Thanks for the answer.

It bothers me that the icing will turn out to be too thick and how can I then spread it on the cupcake? She will crumble.

ps: I tried to make it with 30 grams of flour, 30 sugar and 30 butter and the mass turned out to be too dry, it was very difficult to spread it on the cake. After baking, the glaze turned out to be harsh.

M. b. Is there a typo in the instructions (for example, about flour) or am I mistaken in something?

In my HP, this is the cupcake mode (1.50min):
kneading - 6 minutes
rest - 5 min
kneading - 10 min
rest - 9 minutes
baking 1h 20min

The question is, is it still possible to contrive and bake a cake on a baking powder? Can I add it in the second batch?

Girls, help !!!! For some reason, in my cupcakes, raisins always end up at the bottom! I put it dry in the dough.

And I don't have a raisin cupcake recipe at all. And the husband loves them so much. I have HP LG HB-157CE. The husband gave it by March 8. Well, I was a little upset because of the lack of raisin muffins. Girls, dear, help !!!

[no raisin cupcake recipe]

And I generally no raisin cupcake recipe .

Natalie1969, I apologize, maybe I did not quite understand you correctly ... You do not have exactly recipe cupcake with raisins or your HP does not programs for baking a raisin muffin? If it's all about the recipe, we have enough of this stuff, choose any recipe for a cupcake and bake to your health. If there is no program "Keks", you can also contrive, for example, like this: you knead on the shortest program (probably in your HP there is "Dough for dumplings" or something similar), then switch to the "Baking" mode and bake the cupcake until ready , it takes about 1 hour.

I also have LG, only 155 model, but don't all skis have a "KEKS" mode. And the instructions say that the dough for the muffins is made in another bowl (not in the bread maker) and the ready-made dough is baked in xn. So why not replace coconut or poppy seeds (see recipes from the instructions) for raisins? I always do that (I don't like coconut). There were never any misfires, only a small cupcake turns out. And you can, as the girls advise, to knead the dough in the mode, only faster with a mixer.
