In this article we will consider recipes for the preparation of three different muffins with cottage cheese and raisins. Each of them has its own advantages and each is amazingly tasty. They are prepared in different forms, so you can choose the option that suits you personally in connection with the presence of a particular vessel for baking.
Cupcake Ingredients
For cooking, you will need, of course, cottage cheese and raisins. The first - 200 g, and the second - 1 tablespoon.
In addition, 200 g of flour, 150 g of sugar and butter and 3 eggs each will still be needed.
You will also need a baking powder (1 tsp) and a small bag of vanilla sugar.
This cupcake with cottage cheese and raisins is prepared in silicone form, which will turn out many small cupcakes. In total, the confectionery output will be approximately 10 servings.
Cooking
Mix cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla and regular sugar until smooth. To this we add softened butter. Sift the flour, add baking powder to it and pour into the dough. Next, you need to knead everything, add raisins there and mix again.
In the molds, the dough should be expanded only two-thirds, since it will rise much. We preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius and put our billets there for 30-40 minutes (until ready).
When the muffins with cottage cheese and raisins are baked and cooled, they need to be sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Ingredients for Margarine Cake
This dessert is prepared in a single mass in the form with a hole in the middle. And for its preparation, naturally, raisins (100 g) and cottage cheese (270 g, fatty) will be needed.
It will also take flour. It should be measured 300 g. Sugar will need 250 g, and margarine - 150 g. In addition, you can not do without three chicken eggs, 1 g of vanillin and 1 small bag of baking powder for the dough.
Making cupcake
Cottage cheese must be rubbed through a sieve in order to make it soft and tender. Beat margarine softened at room temperature with sugar and vanilla. Now you need to combine the cottage cheese and margarine. Beat the cake mass with cottage cheese and raisins to a homogeneous state.
Eggs are also added to this mass. All this must be thoroughly whipped. At the exit, the mass should resemble a cream in consistency.
Then, according to the recipe for the cake with cottage cheese and raisins, mix the flour with baking powder and sift it into a bowl to our curd mass. Raisins must be washed well under running water and dried. Pour dried fruit on top of the flour. Mix the dough thoroughly. It will turn out quite viscous and thick.
A regular or silicone mold with a hole must be filled with dough for two-thirds. If the baking dish is metal, then it is better to lubricate it first with oil. Well, if it is silicone, then we spread the dough like that. When cooking, it will rise very much.
Cooking should be done in the oven, heated to 170 degrees Celsius. Baking time is about an hour. Willingness to check is simple: you need to pierce the cupcake with a wooden stick or skewer. If it is wet, then the cake will still need to stand in the oven. And if the stick is dry, then the cupcake is ready and you can pull it out.
After the dessert is ready, you need to sprinkle it with melting icing sugar or wait until it cools down and decorate with ordinary powder.
White Raisin Cupcake Ingredients
This small culinary masterpiece will turn out to be more fragrant than the previous two, due to additional ingredients. It is baked, like the second cupcake, in large form with a hole in the middle.
To prepare such a cupcake, you will need to stock up with fat cottage cheese (250 g) and white raisins (100 g). In general, white raisins in baked goods look more aesthetically pleasing than dark. Plus, we buy still tender curd mass (100 g).
We also need flour (280 g) and a baking powder (1 tbsp. L.). Butter will need 150 g, sugar - 1 cup, and eggs - 3 pieces. The lemon peel (with 1 lemon) and 1 packet of vanilla sugar will also be used.
After all these ingredients are at hand, you can begin to knead the dough.
Making cupcake
Margarine must first be softened. And then beat it with sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth. It will be easier and more convenient to use a mixer during whipping.
If the first type of cottage cheese is grainy and heterogeneous, then it should be wiped through a sieve. Now both cottage cheese should be mixed and put on margarine with sugar. Mix it all up.
Now we mix to the mass of the egg and continue to beat the dough with a mixer.
Flour should be mixed with a baking powder and pour this dry mixture to the mass that we already have.
Also add raisins and zest, mix everything again.
How to bake a cake with cottage cheese and raisins? Lubricate the baking dish with oil and sprinkle with flour. If the dish is silicone, then this is not necessary. We spread the resulting dough there and carefully level the surface of the laid out mass.
Now our billet is sent to the oven, preheated to 170 degrees Celsius. A treat will be prepared for about an hour. We check the readiness with a match, a toothpick or a skewer.
After cooking, you need to cool the cupcake a little and put it on a dish or wire rack.
If a cupcake is festive, for example, Christmas, then on top of it you can pour sugar icing. If you just bake on one of the weekdays, then you can limit yourself to sprinkling with powdered sugar.
Any of these cupcakes can be supplemented not only with raisins, but also with other dried fruits and candied fruits. It is also realistic to bake a cake with cottage cheese and raisins without eggs. To do this, you need to take not ordinary cottage cheese, but a gentle type of ricotta.
Experiment in the kitchen bolder! This brings you great creative pleasure and delights your loved ones with new unusual tastes and aromas of your favorite pastries.
