Hi and a massive welcome to Steve's Kitchen today we're making
Mushy Pea cupcakes you did hear me right
now this was a winner of the cake making competition on my channel recently
Anna well done it is a fantastic recipe it was inspired by the
edamame peas that she had in japan before that they use for sweet recipes
now just come over here and take a look at what we 're making
doesn't that look absolutely fantastic so I hope you're going to give this a try at
home come on let's get on and make
mushy pea cupcakes
now you've had carrot cake
and pumpkin bread on the channel before so trust me this is going to taste great
here we are using mushy peas and we've got three hundred grams thats about 10
ounces not going to be using that just yet we're starting with our pound cake recipe
I've got 150 gram that's about five ounces of softened butter in a bowl
a hundred and fifty grams exactly the same amount of white sugar
5 ounces in there I'm just going to use a wooden spoon and I'm just
going to cream that together so there we have
the wonderful creamy sugar into that I'm going to add 3 eggs which again is
approximately 150 grams
or five ounces of eggs now let's just mix the
eggs and the batter together I quite often like to turn over to a whisk here
and just whisk this together now you might find it splits a little bit that
is quite alright the flour will draw this together
that's what we're looking for a nice smooth batter like that
and next self-raising flour the same amount again 150 grams 5 ounces
if you can't get self-raising use all-purpose with baking powder about a
teaspoon would do
I'm just going to pop that in there now and we're just going to mix this together and
get a wonderful cake batter okay
now the mushy peas I am deviating a little bit from
Annas recipe I'm going to blitz these together I'm not going to melt the white
chocolate in because I want my chocolate chips
to be texture inside the cupcakes now
as they are those mushy peas there are a little bit too coarse
so pop them into some sort of container
either mash them with a regular potato masher I'm just going to use a blitzter
and blitz these to a paste so the peas are lovely and pureed there now
I just want to do as Anna did add a little sweetness I'm going to put a
teaspoon
golden syrup in with the peas now you could use honey if you like
but it just adds some sweetness where we adding the savory
give that one final mix through and then
our pea mixture is going to go in with our cake batter
it's beautiful green color and 100 grams
three-and-a-half ounces of white chocolate chips pop those in there as well
give this one last mix through
and there we have this wonderful light green
cake batter which we're going to turn into cupcakes today
let's get our oven on 180 degree Celsius that 350 fahrenheit
I've got some little muffin tins here which I've put some silicon liners in
you could use paper liners or if you're muffin tinis good enough you can just
put it straight
in the tin what I'm going to do I've got a little scoop here
and I'm going to take some batter
and pop it into each of my little muffin tins or
muffin trays like this so I filled those up to three-quarters full as you can see
they are going to rise in the oven we're going to pop them in that oven there for about
10 to 12 minutes and when they're ready
should be able to push down in the middle and they'll just spring back
now there they are out of the oven and if you just give them a little push in the
middle you feel the spring back on you
now we need to let those cool down a little bit while I make a topping to go
on these just to set them off
after all this is a price winning cake
so we're just taking a little bit of fondant now
rolling them up into some
little garden peas I want 3 of these because I'm going to make
one of these little pea pods here
so you see my little garden peas there and I've put a smiley face what I've done
is used a little nozzle here and just
poked it in the front there to get the smiley face
and you could put some black piping just to make the eyes or you could take a
toothpick
and just make couple of eyes like so I hope you can see that clearly
so the next thing I've done is taken another piece of fondant
I'm not rolling it out I'm actually using a smoother just to get
the thickness that I want and then with the little roller I'm just going to cut
a leaf-shape out then I've popped my three garden peas in the middle there
and then what you want to do is just pull this up I'm going to
squeeze off the end to get like
the end of the garden pea and I'll do the same the other end
and I'll just tidy them up until I get this sort of affect here so I'm going to leave
one edge
a little bit open like that now they've cooled down and I put a little cream
cheese frosting on there and
my little Pea characters It was a little extra work but they work out
just as good plain like this pop that one out there
break that in half and you'll see that that is
quite a moist cake inside its absolutely delicious the little white chocolate
chips
