Simple, Sweet Cupcakes for Valentine’s Day

Step 1

Separate the eggs:

Beat 3 eggs, carefully separate the egg white and yolk and set aside.

Step 2

Make egg yolk paste:

Pour 28g corn oil and 40g butter into a bowl and stir until emulsified.

Then sift in 48g of low-gluten flour and stir until there are no dry powder particles.

Then add 3 egg yolks, mix well and set aside.

Step 3

Whip the meringue:

Take another clean bowl, put in the egg white, add a few drops of lemon juice, and then add 30g of fine sugar.

Whip the meringue until it forms wet peaks.

Step 4

Mix the batter:

First, add one-third of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture and mix gently until evenly combined.

Then pour the mixed batter back into the remaining meringue and mix well using a folding technique to avoid defoaming.

Step 5

Baking cake:

Put the mixed cake batter into a piping bag and squeeze it into paper cups until 80% full.

Put the paper cups into the air fryer, bake at 110 degrees for 20 minutes, then adjust to 130 degrees and bake for 30 minutes.

After baking, take out and place on a wire rack to cool.

Step 6

Make the cream:

Add 100g cream cheese, 200g butter and 20g fine sugar into a bowl and beat until well combined.

Put the whipped cream into a piping bag and squeeze out your favorite flower shapes on the cooled cake.

Step 7

Decoration is completed:

Finally, garnish with strawberries and your delicious Valentine's Day cupcakes are ready!
