Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Lubricate the baking dish with a piece of butter and sprinkle with a little flour. Shake off the flour form, which did not stick to the butter and turned out to be superfluous.
   
2. Sift 180 g of wheat flour into a deep bowl with a sieve and add 10 g of baking powder to it. Then pour a pinch of ground nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon on top of the flour.
   
3. Mix well with a whisk. If desired, you can replace half of the wheat flour with peeled rye. This will make the cupcake denser and, of course, change its taste.
   
4. You will need a zest of orange or lemon of your choice. Using a fine grater, grate the citrus zest and mix it in a bowl with 30 g of sugar. Leave the citrus sugar mixture for 10 minutes.
   
5. Pour 110 ml of milk into the stewpan, add 150 g of honey to it.
   
6. Then pour sugar with zest.
   
7. Put the stewpan on a small fire and, while slightly stirring, heat the mixture until sugar is completely dissolved. Milk should be warm enough, but not hot.
   
8. In a separate deep bowl, beat one chicken egg, preferably larger, and beat well with a mixer or whisk.
   
9. Then pour the milk-honey mass to the egg and stir well with a whisk.
   
10. Then gradually pour the prepared flour into a bowl with milk, constantly stirring with a whisk until a thick homogeneous mass so that there are no lumps.
    
11. Pour the dough into a baking dish and smooth it with a spatula over the surface.
    
12. Preheat the oven to 170 ºС and send the cake to bake for about 50 minutes. The exact time depends on your oven. During baking, the cupcake rises well and acquires a beautiful ruddy color. Before time, try not to open the oven so that the cupcake is not opal.
    
13. You can check the readiness of the dessert with a wooden toothpick; there should be no residues of raw dough on it.
    
14. Leave the cupcake in the mold for about 5-10 minutes, then separate it from the edges of the mold with a knife and shift the dish or wire rack to cool it a little.
    
15. You can decorate the finished cupcake with powdered sugar, and if you have a special stencil for this, then be sure to use it.
    

To diversify the taste and appearance of your cupcake, you can sprinkle it with chopped walnuts before baking, and pour it with chocolate icing when ready. You can also add soaked raisins and a little vanillin to the dough.
