Recipe for making a chocolate cupcake with red wine and almonds
Step–by–step instructions:
1. In a deep heat–resistant dish, mix butter, liquid honey, sugar and 3 egg yolks. Add vanilla, vanilla sugar or extract to the mixture for flavor.
2. Send the bowl with the mixture to a water bath. Stirring constantly, we heat the mass to a homogeneous consistency. Do not bring the mixture to a boil. As soon as the butter is completely melted and mixed with the rest of the ingredients, carefully remove the mixture from the water bath.
3. When the mass cools down a little, pour semi–sweet red wine into it. Add baking soda, stir the mixture with a whisk until smooth.
4. Add sifted wheat flour mixed with cocoa to the dough.
5. Mix the dough with a whisk, achieving a uniform consistency. Cut almonds into large pieces, add to the dough.
6. In a separate bowl, mix 3 chicken proteins and a pinch of salt. At the maximum speed of the mixer, beat the ingredients for 7–10 minutes until stable peaks are obtained. Add the beaten proteins to the dough.
7. Carefully mix the beaten proteins into the dough, bringing the mixture to a homogeneous consistency.
8. Pour the finished dough into a muffin tin lined with parchment paper. I used a form measuring 31×12 cm, with a volume of 1.7 l.
9. We send the Italian cupcake to the oven heated to 160 degrees for 40 minutes. Then carefully remove the cupcake and check its readiness with a wooden skewer. If it comes out of the cake dry, without traces of dough, the pastry is ready.
10. Cool the finished cupcake with red wine on a wire rack to room temperature. If desired, the pastry can be decorated with black chocolate melted in a water bath and confectionery sprinkles.
Italian cupcake with wine is very tender, airy and aromatic. Be sure to try this recipe again, it’s delicious!
