Wondering why I
personalized this recipe? Chill….I just tried it out, never saw it in any
recipe and it turned out cool. I loved the combo of those
watermelon cubes and honey. It was wow! I have also called this an ‘upside down
cupcake’ because they are two cakes which I turned against the other. Helen,
enough of talking too much……..Now this:...Read more>>>
Ingredients
1. 150g unsalted
butter stored in room temperature
2. Half cup of white
sugar
3. One cup of all purpose
flour
4. One teaspoon of baking
powder
5. Half cup of milk
6. 4 tablespoonfuls of
original Opi Nsukka honey
7. One capful of vanilla
extract
8. A pinch of salt.
For dressing..
1. Small chunk of chopped
watermelon red fruit and a little chunk of the green side.
2. 4 capfuls of
original Opi Nsukka honey.
3. A teaspoon of
watermelon seeds
Putting it all
together…..
1. Put the butter in
cubes into a bowl and whisk a little
2. Add the sugar and
whisk together until blended and fluffly , also creamy/a bit whitish in colour.
3. Pour in the milk bit
by bit and continue whisking
4. Add the vanilla
extract and the honey and continue whisking
5. Sieve in the
flour,baking powder and salt into the butter mixture
6. Instead of whisking
the dry and wet ingredients, use a spatula at this juncture and fold in the
flour into the butter mixture. Do not over mix. This is to ensure that the
fluffiness already built into the batter by the air trapped in when the
initial mixing was taking place.
7. Pour in two serrated
cupcake tins and bake in a preheated oven of 180 degrees Celcius and bake or
about 20-30 minutes or after a skewer or toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Place on a wire rack
to cool before removing from the cakes from the tins.
9. Place one cake on a
clean place and turn over the other on top (See picture).
10. For the dressing,
chop the red and green parts of watermelon into small cubes and place on one
side of the plate you have placed the cakes on.
11. Sprinkle the
watermelon seeds on top of the cake base (which now serves as the top).
12. Add the honey in
drops on the plate and be sure to eat all together.
NB: The watermelon seeds
are edible and contain several nutrients such as protein, B vitamins, minerals,
etc. These seeds can be dried and roasted mixed in the cake batter or yet,
plated alongside the cake.
Why don’t you try this
recipe right now and drop your comments. And don’t forget to turn the cakes
