Cupcake with sour cream with raisins

To begin with, let's deal with raisins: they need to be rinsed well in hot water, sorted out and dried with a paper towel. Place the raisins in a bowl and sprinkle with two tablespoons of flour from the total amount of the recipe flour. Sprinkled with flour, the raisins are better distributed in the finished dough and do not settle to the bottom during baking.

Break eggs into a separate bowl, pour sugar and beat with a mixer until a lush and thick foam is almost white. The volume of the mass should increase markedly. A well-beaten egg mixture will give a quality, porous crumb.

Pour sour cream into the egg mass and gently mix everything together. You can do it just with a whisk.

Pre-sift the flour and pour portions into the liquid mixture, each time stirring the portion with a whisk or mixer at medium speed. Add baking powder along with flour. You should get a thick dough that falls from the spoon, does not flow.

It's the turn of the raisins - pour it onto the dough and gently mix it into the total mass with a spoon.

Preparing the cake pan. Best of all, if it is a special dish with a pipe in the middle - in this form, the cake is baked better, faster and looks aesthetically pleasing. But if there is no such form, take any at your discretion. Lubricate the surface of the mold with oil and put the dough into it. It should be borne in mind that when baking, the dough will grow, so we fill out the form only by two-thirds. We put the future cupcake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. We bake for 45-50 minutes. You can check the readiness with a toothpick by sticking it into the middle of the cake: if it comes out dry, then it is ready. If there is sticky dough left, the cake needs to be baked further. To prevent the surface from burning, cover the mold with foil and continue baking.

We take the finished cake out of the oven, remove it from the mold, transfer it to the wire rack and let it cool completely. In the cooled state, sprinkle the baked goods with powdered sugar through a strainer. Cut into portions and serve.
