Passion tea cupcake with a orange butter Cream frosting
Well I finally figured out the oven in my place! No more burning cupcakes! I've decided that this year I will be writing at least very other week. Whest I made cupcakes or if it's just related to cupcakes. I was also thinking that I need to add pictures with my entries. I'm such a visual person, I'm surprised I haven't thought of it sooner!
So for my first cupcake of the year, I made a passion tea cupcake. I first started out using 2 tea bags in hot milk and letting it simmer for 5 or so minutes. The texture came out right but the flavor was too muted and so it would need probably 5 tea bags. I also made this cupcake for the first time with oil. I didn't really see a difference in the cupcake, maybe a little bit heavier but nothing really noticable. I made orange butter cream with it, I liked the flavor but it needed more flavor again. I used one orange zest, I would say 2 next time and maybe some of the juice too. Some the overall lesson with this cupcake is MORE flavor!
Until next time, happy baking!
