NEAPOLITAN MUFFIN


Italy is a really cool country: pasta, lasagna, pizza, tiramisú. What about the flag color? Tomato, cheese and basil or strawberry, vanilla and chocolate! Delicious! To think about Italy is enough to make mouth water! We bake these fluffy muffins thinking about the neapolitan combination. You bet the italian flag will be very well represented!






100g butter
150g sugar
3 eggs
50ml milk
150g flour
1 tbsp baking powder

Colors
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Sift flour and baking powder.
Beat together butter and sugar until is pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in milk. Carefully fold in flour and baking powder.
Separate the batter into three parts. Stir the strawberry juice powder in one part of batter. The cocoa in other part and vanilla extract in another. Spoon a little batter of each mixture into muffin pans. Bake for about 20 minutes.

Serve: 20 mini muffins.

  2. Very pretty, especially with the ribbon. I have never heard of strawberry powder before. I'll have to look for it. It gives them a beautiful color.

  20. These muffins are delicious. I loved the thought of these muffins but I had difficulty baking them. I am a novice and Mine looked like anything but like mini muffins. One problem was the choclate having a thicker batter than the strawberry and vanilla. How can I fix this?
