Of course! Here's a fun and delicious recipe inspired by the Keeper of the Lost Cities series:
Elvin Starlight Cupcakes
Ingredients:
For the cupcakes:
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
For the frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Gel food coloring in various colors (green, blue, or purple for Elvin theme)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined and smooth.
6. Fill each cupcake liner with about 2 tablespoons of batter, or until they're about 2/3 full.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
8. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
9. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth.
10. Gradually add the powdered sugar, about a cup at a time, until well incorporated.
11. Add the milk and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.
12. Divide the frosting into separate bowls depending on how many colors you want to use. Add gel food coloring to each bowl and mix until the desired colors are achieved.
13. Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost them with the colored frosting using a piping bag or spatula. Feel free to get creative with the frosting, adding swirls or patterns!
14. Serve your Elvin Starlight Cupcakes to celebrate the Keeper of the Lost Cities theme and enjoy!
Note: You can also decorate the cupcakes with themed sugar decorations like stars or edible glitter to enhance the magical Elvin atmosphere.
