STRAWBERRY CUP CAKES

Cup cakes or cakes are always my kids favourite at home.I always like the fresh fruits added to my baked items rather than the store brought flavoured syrups as a matter of eating healthy food :-)



I had some fresh strawberries with me, so just pruned into  juice and strained ,added this to my cup cakes.At the end just garnished it with pink icing.This is a recipe, I shared with my friends for a small snacky party of kids.





Ingredients
all purpose flour 2 1/2 cups
eggs 2
strawberries 10-12 (blended n strained)
sugar 1 1/2 cup (as per your taste)
butter 1 stick / 1/2 cup melted /vegetable oil 1/2 cup
vanilla essence 1 tsp
baking powder 1 1/2 tsp
red food colour 1/2 tsp (optional)
almond shredded 1/3 cup


Method
  • Wash the strawberries and hulled.Blend them into fine syrup and strain for the seeds.keep aside.
  • Whisk the eggs at room temperature till frothy.
  • Add the sugar and blend again,then the melted butter.
  • Add the all purpose flour ,baking powder,vanilla essence,strawberry syrup.
  • Pre heat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tray with baking cups .
  • Spray oil or apply oil into the cups,pour the mix upto 2/3 rd full in each cup.
  • Garnish with shredded almonds.
  • Place it in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until tooth pick comes clean.
