Here is my first post from the sugar cane juice series. If you missed out on yesterday’s post and couldn’t understand what I am writing about, then you need to check yesterday’s post for details and why there is a sugar cane juice series in my blog. When I was asked to make some dishes with sugar cane juice, I couldn’t stay away from baking. So though I listed out traditional south Indian recipes, I also included cupcakes in it. And I feel that I did the good thing. These cupcakes with mild flavour of sugar cane juice were absolutely soft, fluffy and delicious. You can never stop at one.
Usually I have some base recipes and do some variations to those to obtain a particular recipe. So there are jam based, juice based, syrup based recipes. You just need to swap the main ingredients to get that particular flavour. I just added sugar cane juice in my usual juice based cake recipe and the result was great. This recipe makes nearly 18 cupcakes. I have added candied fruits but you can add almonds, pistachios, choco chips or citrus zest and candied citrus fruits for variations. I added tutti fruitti as I wanted the sugar cane juice to dominate the flavours. The other ingredients might suppress that flavour.
