To make spider cupcakes ?

Eggs: provide structure and leavening, forming the basic structure of the cake, making the cake soft but with a certain toughness.

Corn oil: Keeps the cake moist and forms a layer of oil film inside the cake to prevent moisture from evaporating, allowing the cake to maintain a soft and moist texture for a longer period of time.

Milk: Adjust the consistency of the batter to make it have appropriate fluidity for easy stirring and subsequent decorating operations.

Low-gluten flour: Builds the framework and forms the main structure of the cake, while making the cake light and fluffy.

Granulated sugar: provides sweetness to the cake.

Lemon juice: neutralizes the alkalinity of egg white, making it easier for the egg white to form a delicate and stable foam structure during the whipping process.

Whipping cream: creates a delicate and dense cream texture, adding rich and mellow milk flavor and silky taste.

Oreo cookies: The unique chocolate flavor and sweet cream filling of Oreo cookies bring rich layers and unique flavor to the cup lid cream.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Cupcake Making

Whipping egg whites: Make sure the container is free of oil and water to avoid over-whipping resulting in dryness and cracking, or under-whipping resulting in collapse.

Mixing the batter: Avoid over-mixing to prevent gluten formation, but also ensure that it is mixed evenly so as not to affect the texture and taste.

Baking: Strictly control the oven temperature and time to prevent the cake from being burnt, undercooked, dry or collapsed.

Cup lid and spider leg cream making

Whipping cream: Refrigerate the egg whites thoroughly before whipping, and pay attention to the degree of whipping to prevent water and oil separation or over-whipping.

Ingredient ratio: Don’t use too much Aoao crushed pieces in the cup lid cream and too much bamboo charcoal powder in the spider leg cream, so as not to affect the taste and appearance.

Assembly

Decoration: Make sure the cream on the cup lid is evenly spread so that the Oreo and spider foot cream are firmly fixed to prevent falling or deformation.

Hygiene: Keep the operation clean to avoid contamination of the cake.

How to store and reheat

Refrigerated Storage:

If you can’t finish the spider cupcakes, you can wrap them in a sealed container to prevent odor and moisture from entering, and then put them in the refrigerator. They can be kept for about 3 days. When refrigerating, be careful not to stack them to avoid crushing the cakes.

Freezer Storage:

If you want to store it for a long time, you can put the spider cupcakes in a sealed plastic container and then store it in the freezer. This method can keep it for 1-2 months.

Note that before freezing, it is best not to apply cream on the cake to avoid affecting its shelf life.

Heating method

Recommended oven heating:

The heat from the oven keeps the cupcakes crispy.

Preheat the oven to 150°C and place the spider cupcakes in the middle of the oven for approx. 2-3 min.

During the heating process, please pay close attention to the condition of the cake to avoid overheating and causing the cake to become dry or burnt.
