Since all our belongings are currently on a ship somewhere in Asia I had to prepare these cupcakes by hand. The end result might have been fluffier and looked better if I had my kitchen tools.
Quantity: 8-9 cupcakes
Ingredients:
- 100 grams selfraising flour
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 200 grams butter
- 2 eggs
- around 20 kruidnootjes
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 75 grams icing sugar
- 2 teaspoons speculoos spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsisus;
- Mix 100 grams of the butter, flour, granulated sugar and the eggs in a bowl into batter;
- If you're not using cupcake wrapper, butter up the cupcake forms so that the cupcakes won't stick to the form;
- Crumble half of the kruidnootjes in the batter and mix;
- Add the batter in the cupcake forms, filling each slot until the middle of the form;
- Place in the oven for around 20 minutes;
- In the meantime mix the remaining butter, icing sugar, cream cheese until the mixture is smooth;
- Mix in the speculoos spices. Reserve a small amount for later use;
- Once the cupcakes have cooled down add the cream cheese topping on top of each cupcake;
- Finish off with a kruidnootje on each cupcake and cover with the remaining spices.
