The dreamy homemade cotton candy cupcakes recipe

Don't you think a cotton candy looks like a fluffy cloud that tastes so amazingly delicious? Come on just agree that cotton candy awakens the child within us. You know you never chew or bite a cotton candy. That's a completely wrong way. You take a piece of it and let it dissolve in your mouth. That's how you enjoy cotton candy. Cotton candies have been into the market even before I was born. My grandparents loved it, my parent enjoyed it, and now my siblings and I cannot resist it. I think it runs in our family.

I remember how cotton candies became famous in our family. My dad loves baking. Its the only thing he loves more than my mom (sorry mom). Baking was his passion, but he never made it his profession (my grandmother didn't like him in the kitchen). One fine day, as was thinking of trying some new recipe, but he couldn't think of any, you if it was our time we would have googled some recipes, but in his time Google was not even born. So, he saw my rother and me enjoying candy floss. He asked us if he could use our cotton candy for one of his experiments and that we won't let our grandmother have a hint that he was baking again. But in return, we bargained for a mind-boggling cotton candy recipe.

The deal was sealed. He went to the kitchen, and we could see him working high on energy. He came out after some time, and it was bad news. The recipe he tried blew in his face. Actually, he was a good baker, but good bakers too mess up sometimes. But now, the question was, how will he make up to our loss? Yes, we lost our cotton candies, and it was a significant loss (okay, we were kids back then). He begged not to complain to our grandma, and he will surely try one other time.

He deserved a second chance. He went into the kitchen again with all his weapons. And this time, he made it a point not to disappoint his kids one more time. Do you know what he came out with? Cotton candy cupcakes were waiting for us. If I describe it, they were cute little perfect sized cupcakes topped with swirls of cotton candy. I had never seen cotton candies made to look so glamorous ever before. And not only were those cupcakes marvellous looking but tasted delicious too.

So here I'm sharing my dads invented recipes with you.

Ingredients required:

3/4 cup cake flour

3/4 all-purpose flour

3/4 cup + 2 tbsps granulated sugar

2 large eggs whites

1 large egg

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup + 3 tbsp milk (other than the skimmed one)

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

Cotton candy

Cotton candy buttercream

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 1/2 tbsp cream (add more if required).

1/2 tsp cotton candy flavour (vanilla flavour can be used as a substitute).

Method of preparation

Start with preheating the oven at 350° F.

In a bowl, add all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, salt and mix this dry mixture for about 20 minutes and then set aside.

Take a bowl, add butter and sugar and blend them well until fluffy and pale. Use an electric stand mixer with an attached paddle so that it keeps on scrapping the sides and bottom. If you don't have it, do it manually.

Now, mix in an egg and egg whites (one at a time) and blend well after each addition and with last egg white add vanilla extract too.

Now, add 1/3 of the flour mixture with butter and egg mixture and add 1/2 of the milk and mix until blended together.

Line up 12 cupcake holders in pans and fill? of the total capacity of each holder with batter. Now, place them into the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes. And then check by inserting a toothpick, if it comes out clean then the cupcakes ready.

Now shift the cupcakes on the rack and let them cool down.

Till then, prepare the cotton candy frosting by adding butter in a bowl and whisk it till fluffy and pale. Now mix in powdered sugar, cotton candy flavour, and cream. Whisk till nice and fluffy. You can also add food colours if you wish to.

Now, decorate the cupcakes with above-prepared frosting and prepare cotton candy sticks by inserting sticks in desired cotton candy shapes.
