STRAWBERRY CHEESE CUPCAKES!!!

have been wanting to make these since ages ago.
since i wrote a process essay for school on how to make these babies.

AND...
i haven't blogged a recipe in awhile...
but this one is toooooooooo yummy not to blog about!
so, needless to say, i need to blog about these!

to start, i got this recipe from Kay Kay, one of the HOTTEST celeb models on earth (im pretty sure everyone knows who im talking about)
(Click here for the recipe)
and she got it from Joylicious, another popular baker blogger person
this is her recipe, but kay kay did some editing to it, and i did minor adjustments to hers
so hereby, i proudly present... MY RECIPE! :)

Here are the ingredients:
For the crust:
15 Digestives crackers, crumbed
Half a blog of butter, 125g? (you can use a bit more, since mine were not sticky enough...)
3 tbs of sugar

For the batter:
4 egg whites and 2 tbs of sugar
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp of salt
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
125g of butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
0.5 cup sour cream
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

i didn't make the cream cheese frosting cuz it was sooooooooo good on its own! :)
when they came out of the oven, i was like:
WOAH. Y U SO YUMMY???

my crust of the cupcake was not really crusty (if you get what i mean) since there weren't enough butter to stick them.

okay, here are the steps!

for the crust:

Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius.

Mix the Digestives crumbs and butter and sugar and put roughly a tablespoon of it in each cupcake. 

Use your fingers to pack it down. 

Bake in oven for 3-5 mins.

For the batter:

Beat the 4 egg whites and 2 tbs of sugar till stiff. Be careful not to overbeat them, or they will turn watery :S

Set aside.Mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside

In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the vanilla and beat with a hand mixer.  Then add half the flour mixture until incorporated then mix in the sour cream

Add remaining flour and mix everything.

Gently fold 1/3 of the egg into the batter until combined, don’t over mix the egg whites or the cupcakes will fall flat. Add remaining egg whites.

Hull your strawbies! Then dice them up and fold into your cupcake batter.

Fill each cupcake about 3/4  and bake for about 25 minutes depending on your oven.

and you are done!!! :)

 

Look at these heavenly, yummy-licious strawberry cheese cupcakes!
