In these quarantine times, it’s all about homeschooling. And do you know what the favorite subject is on the “home school schedule”?
Home Economics!
Both the kids and mom completely agree 😉 So, mom here is really trying out some recipes and things that she’s been thinking about experimenting with for a long time!
Just look at this:
What do you think? They turned out insanely good.

Recipe for Cupcakes with Chocolate, Caramel, and Toasted Meringue
Ingredients
Cupcake Batter
- 2 Egg
- 120 gram Butter
- 230 gram Sugar
- 195 gram Wheat Flour
- 2.5 gram Baking Soda
- 6 gram Vanilla Sugar
- 2 pinches Salt
- 150 gram Milk
- 50 gram Cocoa powder
Caramel
- 1 can Condensed milk
- Flake Salt
Meringue
- 2 egg white
- 100 gram Sugar
Garnish
- red sorrel
Instructions
Cupcake batter
- Put eggs, butter, and sugar in a bowl and whisk until white and fluffy.
- Put flour, baking powder, and vanilla sugar in another bowl and mix them together.
- Alternately add a little of the dry mixture and a little of the milk to the bowl with the whipped mixture.
- Then add the cocoa and whisk everything thoroughly together.
- Fill the batter into your molds, so they are well half-filled.
- Bake them at 155 degrees Celsius (311 degrees Fahrenheit) convection for just under half an hour - the baking time depends on your oven, so check them.
- Let the baked cupcakes cool on the kitchen counter.
- Boil the can for 3 hours under a lid and then let it cool for an hour.
- Stir the sea salt into the caramel. You can also see the recipe for the caramel sauce here.
- Cut a hole in the top of the cooled cupcakes so there is room for a dollop of caramel (the kids will happily eat the "cake leftovers").
- Put the caramel in the hole.
- Whisk the egg whites and sugar together in a bowl.
- Put the meringue in a piping bag with a nozzle and pipe it onto your cupcakes, so the hole with the caramel is covered.
- Burn the meringue with a blowtorch.
- Garnish with red wood sorrel on top.
