Cherry cupcakes
These cupcakes I found on Foodfanatic which is a Danish site so I have translated the recipe.
They taste amazing. But they are a little small for my taste so next time I will double the ingredients.
The recipe is for ten muffins.
Ingredients
- 85 g soft butter
- 85 g sugar
- 1 big egg
- 85 g flour
- 25 almonds, chopped evenly
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp milk
- 175 g cherries + some for decorating
- 80 g butter
- 170 g icing sugar
In a large bowl stir butter and sugar until mixed. Beat in the egg until blended.
Mix flour, chopped almonds and baking powder. Add flour mixture and milk to sugar and butter. Remove the stones from the cherries, chop them and gently fold in cherries.
Spoon batter into prepared cups (cups will be almost full).
Bake cupcakes 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire rack; cool completely.
Make the butter icing as they cool. Stir the butter with mixer at high speed. Bolt icing sugar until mixed.
Socks for a friend
I found the guide on Purlbee which is a pretty cool site.
When I talked to my grandmother about the socks she told me that the guidelines are very old and originate from Norway.
My friend loves color - just like me - so I decided to knit the socks in a bright green. I don't know why but they don't look as bright on the picture. You must take my word for it.
You kan find the guide to knit the socks here.
The socks were very easy and quick to knit. It took me about two days combined with some TV - and they were my first handknitted socks ever!
