How to Make Yalda Cupcakes
Step 1:
To make the delicious and colorful Yalda cupcakes, first, choose a suitable bowl. Then, crack the eggs into the bowl and remove any white egg bits attached to the yolk to prevent the cake from having an unpleasant egg smell.
Step 2:
Now, add sugar and vanilla to the eggs. Use a hand mixer and mix until the eggs foam up. Then, add milk and vegetable oil to the egg mixture and mix again.
Step 3:
In this step, sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the mixture. Then, gently fold the mixture in one direction using a spatula. Next, divide the cake batter into 3 parts.
Step 4:
Add the red food coloring to the batter with the most quantity and mix until the color changes. Next, add green food coloring to the other large portion and mix again until the batter changes color.
Step 5:
Now, choose the necessary cups and grease them with some oil. Then, choose a suitable pot and fill a piping bag with the green cake batter. Pipe the batter into the cups.
Step 6:
Wipe off any excess green cake batter around the cups with a paper towel. Then, fill another piping bag with the white cake batter. Pipe the white batter around the green batter, starting from the edges, and then fill the center.
Step 7:
Fill a piping bag with the red cake batter and pipe it over the white cake batter. Clean the edges of the cups with a clean towel. Then, place the cups into the pot and pour boiling water into the pot up to half the height of the cups.
Step 8:
Now, place the pot on low heat, cover it with a cloth, and place the lid on. Let the cupcakes steam in the boiling water until they cook. After 20 minutes, check the cupcakes with a toothpick.
Step 9:
If the cupcakes are done, turn off the heat and leave them in the hot water for another 10 minutes to rest. Then, remove the cups from the pot and use a knife to separate the cake from the sides of the cups.
Step 10:
Finally, arrange the watermelon cupcakes on a serving plate and decorate the top with chocolate drops. Make this delicious cake for Yalda Night and enjoy it with tea alongside loved ones. Enjoy!
