LEMON CUPCAKES



Lemon cupcakes with lemon glaze
When God gives you lemons, make lemonade . But I prefer to also make cupcakes with lemon glaze . Howzzat 😂😜
It's lockdown time . All cooped up indoors . Trying to make good use of time by brushing up my writing  skills & trying to fulfil  my lifelong dream of seeing my work published . Occasionally whipping up a new dish is also in the agenda .
    Today in the morning made my husband's favourite ' Aam er chatni' ( Bengali way) . Then in the evening decided to make these easy peasy  cupcakes . They can be baked with the ingredients readily available at home _ whole wheat flour, sugar and lemon being the main.
The lemon glaze is optional . The cupcakes taste good even without the glaze .
Now let's go to the recipe


Wet ingredients ( mix in a bowl and keep aside)
Water 1/2 cup
Oil       1/4 cup
Lemon juice of 1 lemon
Lemon zest of 1  lemon
Dry ingredients ( sieve in a separate bowl and keep aside)
Whole wheat flour 1cup
Baking powder 1/2 tsp
Baking soda 1/2 tsp
Method
Mix both dry and wet ingredients
Make a batter
Use more  water if required
Spoon into greased muffin tray lined with greased liners
Bake at 180 degree celcius for 20 _ 25 minutes
Lemon glaze
Beat 
powder sugar 1/2 cup
Lime juice of 1/2 _ 1 lemon
Pour over cooled cupcakes

TIRAMISU This is a sofisticated coffee flavoured layered Italian dessert . Tiramisu means ' cheer me up ' . Indeed it lives up to its name . It's comfort in every bite . A bite into it  , will pepp you up .        The kick of the coffee from the biscuits dipped in it  and the luscious  creamy texture of the cheese are incorporated beautifully together in harmony.           Tiramisu can be served in individual bowls, glasses or set in a shallow dish . Traditional Tiramisu is made savoiardi  sponge biscuits , eggs, sugar, mascarpone cheese  flavoured with cocoa and  alcohol .             It's important that the biscuits don't become too soggy or they will crumble and fall apart . You need to be able to taste  the coffee , but not make the dessert bitter at the same time.            As I feel that there is no end to experimentations and playing a...
