I am interested in some infused flavored cupcakes recipes. Grand Manier, Khalua, and Amaretto. Would you suggest lightly soaking the cake and adding a little to the icing or just do one or the other?
Thank You
AI used the original wasc recipe and substituted the water for alcohol and they came out great
Cakeladi, I use many different types of alcohol in my baking. I use the alcohol as a flavor enhancement, not a novelty.
Each type of alcohol works differently in a recipe. Very few benefit from baking in the cake or cupcake. Many can be brushed, a very few need simple syrup, and the alcohol can be added to fillings, ganache, and frostings as well. Many times a cupcake will benefit from a combination of flavors.
If you would like a link to my site, pm me. I'll be happy to share the method and amounts for any of the alcohol infused recipes. I probably have 50 examples.
could you please send me a copy as well please many thanks
I'd say make a simple syrup (half sugar half water, bring to a boil for a while) and add as much of the liqueur to it as you'd like, then spoon it over the cake. You could punch some holes in the cake with a bamboo skewer for better absorption. It would probably be a good idea to experiment a little bit first (maybe on some cupcakes) to make sure the flavor comes through without being overpowering.
I do this with a rum cake. I also substitute the water from frosting with rum...
I don't know if you receive a reply as of yet. But, that's all I really do is liquor infused. I have a basic chocolate and vanilla receipe which I use. For Bailey's my customers love the chocolate Bailey's
I don't use milk I simply use baileys
receipe:
2 cups of sugar
2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of vinegar
1/2 cup of veg oil
1 cup of cold coffee
1 cup of bailey (or whateva liquor you want)
3/4 cup of coco powder
Once the cupcakes are completed.. before the cool I brush on baileys again..
