Almost Alice Cupcakes from Christinamachtwas

Dear lovely readers,

I´d like to introduce myself. My Name is Christina, I´m a friend of Anna and a blogger myself. At Christinamachtwas I share with you my latest recipes, my thoughts and so much more. Take a look, but first I´d like to show you my Almost Alice Cupcake that I created just for my lovely Anna.

For the inspiration I took a picture that Anna posted a few posts back. It´s this one:

I thought it would be perfect for a Cupcake, and I was right. They´re terrific, aren´t they?

You will need for 6 - 8 Cupcakes:

Ingredients: 200 g Flour 1/2 Ts Bakingpowder 1/2 Ts Natron (Bakingsoda) 1 pinch of Salt  70 g Butter 100 g Sugar 1 Egg  75 ml Milk 2 Hands full Berrys (Blueberrys + Red Currant) 1/2 Lemon

Directions: Mix together flour, bakingpowder, bakingsoda & salt. Whisk butter and sugar until it´s fluffy. Add the egg and the milk to the buttermixture and whisk until it´s comined. Now add the flourmixture and only use a wooden spoon to combine.     It´s not bad if there are flourflakes in the batter! Now add the berrys and gently fold them in. If you like you can squeeze a little bit of the lemonjuice in the batter. Fill it in papercups and bake at 180 °C about 12 - 15 Minutes. Make the "chopstick"-test. Let them cool completely.

And for the frosting you´ll need:

Ingredients: 250 g Mascapone 1 Package Cream Cheese 2 - 4 Ts Powdersugar Food dye in teal and blue if you want: Sugarpearls in black

Directions: Whisk everything together and  garnish the Cupcakes with it.                                    Add Sugarpearls to the frosting and enjoy!

I hope you liked my little sweet Almost Alice Cupcakes & I would be pleased to welcome you to my blog as well.
