Swedens national holiday

Today, as it is the sixth of June, we'd like to celebrate our national holiday with lemon meringue and marshmallow cupcakes. The recipe is a simple variation of the strawberry cupcakes posted two days ago; crush some meringue in the bottom of the cups before pouring in the batter, add lemon juice (or any other fruit) instead of strawberries, and top off with lemon icing and marshmallow fluff!

Strawberry cupcakes!

Today we were going to have friends coming over, so we made these super-sweet cupcakes!

2 eggs
2 decilitres sugar
50 grams butter
1 decilitre milk (or water)
3 decilitres wheat flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla powder
Strawberries! (about 2 decilitres)

mix eggs and sugar until it becomes fluffy. Melt the butter, then add the milk/water and heat the mix up. Pour the hot liquid into the eggmixture. Mix flour, baking powder and vanilla powder, and pour into the liquid mix.
Fill the cupcake-forms about halfway up, and bake in the oven at 210°C for about 18-20 minutes. Let them cool off.

Then make a simple buttercream filling (butter, sugar, confectionary's sugar) and mix in some food colouring. The decorating is now up to you! ^_^
