truffles in the kitchen: Apricot Jam Cupcakes
i wasted the whole afternoon doing this!
I say wasted because i didn't follow recipe again and thus the cakes turn out to be not fabulous!
Hence i'm not posting any recipe here!
but i highly recommend the cookbook: Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery
Why i bake these:
i was hoping to get rid of the apricot jam which i bought to glaze the fruit tart i made for my birthday in september.
I was excited to try out the recipes from my new cookbook: Cupcakes from the PRimrose Bakery (really beautiful and inspiring)!
Yet wanting to bake something that is less sinful (Reduced sugar).
What i did:
I added only 2 tbsp of brown sugar to cream the butter and added 4 tbsp of apricot jam instead of 3 tbsp of strawberry jam and added additional jam in the centre of the cupcakes before baking them instead of pushing the jam into the cakes after they've been baked (as a result of not reading carefully!)
The result:
the cakes are still edible but rather dense and with sunken in centers (guess why!)
My husband frowned when i kept asking him to try one after another!
I ended up eating about 4 cupcakes!
oh dear!
Maybe i should just stop trying to bake super reduced sugar cupcakes and just follow the recipe!!!!
