A very successful recipe for delicious cupcakes with apricots! The recipe is simple and hassle-free. The dough is light and airy, and the apricot filling is juicy and fragrant, with a bright taste - the combination is just perfect.

Ingredients

• For test:
• Flour - 320 g
• Butter (softened) - 100 g
• Eggs - 4 pcs.
• Sour cream 20% - 250 g
• Sugar - 300 g
• Vanilla sugar - 8 g
• Baking powder - 10 g
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• For filling:
• Small apricots - according to the number of cupcakes (for 1 cupcake - 0.5-1 pc.)

Directions

1. Prepare all ingredients.
2. Separate the yolks from the whites.
3. Prepare dough.
4. Pour sugar and vanilla sugar into the bowl, add softened butter. Beat with a mixer until crumbly.
5. Add sour cream and egg yolks to butter and sugar. Stir with a mixer.
6. Add flour and baking powder, stir with a mixer at low speed until smooth.
7. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form.
8. Gradually fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, gently fold in with a silicone spatula.
9. Prepare the filling. Rinse the apricots, cut in half and remove the pits.
10. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
11. Prepare a muffin pan. I have a silicone mold, I do not lubricate anything. If you have a metal mold, you need to grease it with oil.
12. Fill the form with dough, without reporting 1 cm to the edge. On the dough in each form, put half an apricot, round side up, slightly "sinking" into the dough.
13. (If the molds are large, lay out two apricot halves, it will be juicier.)
14. Bake cupcakes with apricots in the oven at 190 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
15. Apricot cupcakes are ready! Bon appetit!
