Try to find Vanilla sugar with natural vanilla, I can promise you that will make your cupcake  more flavory!)

For the buttercream icing (сливочная глазурь):

•  150g butter , softened (размягченное масло)
•  150g. sugar powder (сахарная пудра)
•   1 tbsp. milk
•   1 tbsp. honey
•    food coloring (пищевой краситель) …if you wanna make your cupcake more colorful.

If you don`t wanna use food coloring, you can chose any berry jam for the natural pink or red color, blueberry one – for purple!

How to...

1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. Crem (взбить до кремообразования) the butter, sugar and the vanilla sugar together in a bowl.
3.  Beat in the eggs (previously beaten)
4. Fold in (осторожненько всыпать)  the flour, salt and baking powder, previously sieved (предварительно просеяв)                                                                  
5. Adding a little milk and sour-cream.
6.  Spoon (выложить ложечкой) the mixture into the paper cases (бумажные формочки).
7. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden-brown on top (до золотистой корочки)     

 








When I say, until golden-brown color, that doesn`t mean you can`t check it with a toothpick…the main task is not to burn them, actually!

Buttercream icing 

8. For the buttercream icing, beat the butter in a large bowl until soft.
9. Fold in the powder sugar and beat until smooth.
10. add milk into the butter mixture, keep on beating (продолжать взбивать) until the mixture is smooth and creamy (до однородной кремовой текстуры).
11. Add the food coloring (if you want to) and mix until well combined.
12. Cover (покрыть) your cupcakes when they cool down with a help of a piping bag (кулинарный мешочек) using a spiraling motion (спиральными движениями).       

If there is no, so called, piping bag on your kitchen – don`t be upset, you can cover your cupcake with a help of spoon – it`s going to be even more creative! 

Note for you:

• tbsp. = tablespoon – столовая ложка
•  tsp. = teaspoon – чайная ложка                                                                                                 

Bon Appetite!
