Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to cook a lean cupcake in the oven? Pour warm filtered water into a deep bowl. If you touch it with your finger, it should be right warm. Pour odorless sunflower oil (refined) into a bowl, pour sugar and add a pinch of salt. Salt will make the taste of the finished cake more vivid.
Step 2:
Pour the liquid honey into a bowl. If you have candied honey, then it needs to be melted in a water bath. To do this, take two buckets, one slightly larger than the other. Honey is put into the smaller one, and tap water is poured into the larger one by about a third or two of the total volume. Then put the ladles one into the other and heat over medium heat, stirring the honey constantly. It will not burn, it will just become liquid faster when stirring.
Step 3:
Straight into the bowl!in parts! sift the wheat flour of the highest grade. This will help the cupcake to rise better. Whisk the dough until smooth. Flour may need a little more or a little less. The benchmark is the consistency of the dough. It should be approximately like sour cream of medium fat content.
Step 4:
This is how my dough looks - it is quite thick and holds a groove from the whisk. Extinguish the soda with lemon juice, immediately add it to the dough and stir with a whisk. It is necessary to interfere throughout the entire volume of the dough, since it depends on whether the cupcake rises evenly or not.
Step 5:
Take two molds and lubricate their bottom with sunflower oil. Divide the dough in half and pour into molds up to half the height. Bake in a preheated 160 degree oven until ready. It will be about 30 minutes, but focus on your oven.
Why exactly two forms? I got greedy by pouring the entire volume of dough into one silicone mold measuring 22x6 cm, and I baked my cupcake for almost an hour and a half! Everything was raw in the middle... I had to arrange dances with a tambourine so that the cupcake would bake inside and not burn from the bottom. Therefore, I recommend baking two cupcakes at the same time. Or initially divide the amount of ingredients into two.
Check the readiness of the cake by sticking a toothpick in the very middle. If it's dry, then the cupcake is ready.
The cupcake turns out to be very fragrant and rosy, with a characteristic honey color. And the taste is very similar to the cake "Honey cake".
Soda feels a little, but I would be afraid to put it less, since the dough is heavy, it may not rise.
I liked the combination of this cupcake with peanut butter and a mug of hot coffee. If you like peanut butter, be sure to try it!
Bon appetit!

Be prepared for the fact that flour may need a little more or, conversely, less than indicated in the recipe. You need to focus on how the dough should turn out (dense, soft, liquid, etc.). There is a lot of useful information about why flour, even of the same variety, can have completely different properties,
