Rübli-Cupcakes (Carrot Cupcakes)

Rübli-Cupcakes

And these one I made last sunday. They are very simple but a bit different to the carrot cake. But be careful, even though there isn't much fat in the cupcakes itself, the frosting is a little bomb...


Anyways, here the ingredients:

• 2 M eggs, separated
• 1 pinch of salt
• 70 g caster sugar
• 100 g ground almonds (I took half almonds and half haselnuts, was also very good)
• 1 Tbsp plain flour
• 75 g grated carrots (make sure to drain the liquid before you add them, otherwide everything goes soggy)
• papercups
• for the frosting you need: 100 g soft butter, 150 g soft cream cheese (phili does well) and 150 g powder sugar

How to make them:

• preheat oven to 175 °C (150 °C fan)
• whip the egg whites with the salt until very stiff, then add in the sugar slowly so that you obtain a smooth and glossy texture
• add one egg yolk after the other, fold them in carefully
• than add the almonds, flour and grated carrots
• don't wait too long before spooning the mixture into the paper cups
• bake for 25- 30 mins and let cool afterwards completely
• for the frosting mix the butter and cheese and sieve in the powdered sugar
• spoon the mixture over the cupcakes and let it set 

That's it! :-)
