Orange cupcake in a slow cooker

1. In a separate container, we will mix all the dry products necessary for the orange cake. Sift the flour, add baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix all the ingredients.

2. In another bowl, mix the sugar and orange zest. We'll crush them so that the sugar dissolves, and the zest lets in some juice. Then we break the eggs, mix and beat the egg mixture with a mixer until the mass turns white and increases in volume.

3. Pour natural yogurt into the egg mass. It is better if it is without additives, so as not to interrupt the taste and smell of orange cake.

4. Add the refined vegetable oil and mix the mixture again with a mixer until smooth.

5. Next, we will introduce dry products into the liquid mixture. To do this, add flour and other ingredients in small portions and stir the resulting dough with a mixer.

6. Lubricate the bowl of the slow cooker with a piece of butter and pour out the dough. Shake the bowl so that the dough is evenly distributed. We put the bowl in a slow cooker and close the lid. Select the "Baking" mode in the menu and set the timer for an hour or a little more. The readiness of the cake can be checked with a toothpick.

7. While the cupcake is baking, we will prepare candied fruits for its decoration. In a separate bowl, scald the orange peel with boiling water (so that it becomes softer) and immediately salt. Then pour water into a saucepan and put sugar. First, we cook sugar syrup over low heat until the sugar completely dissolves, and then we throw the orange zest there. Cook, stirring constantly, orange zest in sugar syrup for 8-10 minutes. Then remove it and put it on a plate until it cools down.

8. Cooking orange glaze. In a bowl, pour powdered sugar, butter and pour orange juice. Mix everything together until smooth. We put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat and place a bowl of sugar mixture in boiling water. We cook the glaze in a water bath until it becomes homogeneous and immediately remove it from the stove. Let it cool down.

9. We remove the finished orange cupcake from the bowl of the slow cooker and transfer it to a plate. On top of the cupcake, pour the already cooled azure and sprinkle with orange candied fruits.

Bon appetit!
