Happy Mothersday !!
For 12 cupcakes:
175 g sugar
175 g butter
175 g flour
1/2 packet of yeast
3 eggs
For the frosting:
120 g of caster sugar
80 g of syrup (make your own or use maple or golden syrup)
2 tablespoons of water
2 large eggs whites
A pinch of salt
few drops of red dye
For the decoration:
12 marshmallows
Preheat to 150 ° C
Mix the butter and sugar using an electric mixer for 3 minutes. The mixture should become pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time while continuing to beat. Fold in the sifted flour and baking powder. Pour the batter into greased cupcake-lined boxes. Bake for 15 minutes.
For the meringue you need to beat the egg whites (and a pinch of salt) until stiff. In a small saucepan, make a syrup with sugar, water and Golden Syrup. Cook until it reaches a temperature of 120 ° C ( until you see tiny bubbles / it takes 3 or 4 minutes). When the syrup is ready, pour over the egg whites while beating at low-speed. Add the dye and then increase the speed until the mixture thickens, cools and becomes shiny.
Garnish the cake with icing using a small spatula and decorate with a marshmallow!
