Keywords

💡Cupcakes

Cupcakes are small, individual-sized cakes that are typically baked in a cupcake or muffin pan. In the video, the focus is on creating a soft and fluffy cupcake that remains moist even when stored in the refrigerator. The cupcakes are also decorated with a special frosting, making them a delightful treat.

💡All-purpose flour

All-purpose flour is a type of flour that is commonly used for a wide range of baking recipes. It is made from a blend of hard and soft wheat and has a medium level of protein. In the video, it is used as the base for the cupcakes, with the option to use wheat flour number 11 or cake flour for a lighter, fluffier texture.

💡Baking powder

Baking powder is a leavening agent that causes baked goods to rise. It is a mixture of a base (usually cream of tartar and an alkali), and an acid, which when moistened, releases carbon dioxide gas. In the script, it is combined with baking soda to help the cupcakes rise and remain soft and fluffy.

💡Baking soda

Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is another leavening agent that reacts with acidic ingredients in a recipe to produce carbon dioxide gas, causing the dough or batter to rise. The video suggests using it alongside baking powder for a better texture, but it can be omitted or reduced if preferred.

💡Caster sugar

Caster sugar, also known as fine sugar, is a fine-grained, free-flowing granulated sugar that dissolves quickly. It is commonly used in baking and is specified in the video as an ingredient for the cupcake batter, contributing to the sweetness and texture of the cupcakes.

💡Unsalted butter

Unsalted butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of milk or cream. It is used in baking to provide richness, flavor, and texture. In the video, unsalted butter is softened at room temperature and then mixed into the cupcake batter to ensure a tender crumb.

💡Room temperature

Room temperature refers to the ambient temperature of the environment, typically around 20-25 degrees Celsius (68-77 degrees Fahrenheit). The video emphasizes the importance of using room temperature ingredients, particularly butter and eggs, to ensure proper mixing and texture in the cupcakes.

💡Vanilla extract

Vanilla extract is a solution made by macerating and percolating vanilla pods in a solution of ethanol and water. It is widely used for flavoring desserts. In the video, vanilla extract is added to the cupcake batter to enhance the aroma and flavor of the cupcakes.

💡Heavy cream

Heavy cream, also known as whipping cream, is cream with a high fat content, usually around 36-40%. It is used in the video to keep the cupcakes soft, light, and fluffy. It is also used in the mascarpone frosting to provide a creamy and rich flavor.

💡Mascarpone Frosting

Mascarpone frosting is a type of frosting made with mascarpone cheese, which is an Italian cream cheese with a sweet, creamy texture. In the video, it is used to decorate the cupcakes, providing a stable, non-melting, and not overly sweet topping that can hold shapes for days.

💡Icing sugar

Icing sugar, also known as powdered sugar or confectioner's sugar, is a fine sugar that has been ground to a powder and is often combined with cornstarch to prevent clumping. It is used in the mascarpone frosting in the video to sweeten the mixture without making it overly sweet.
