Christmas Cupcakes

For the Christmas cupcakes, beat the eggs with the sugar until foamy. Stir in the oil and milk and mix well. A pinch of cinnamon, clove powder and cardamom gives the cupcakes a fine Christmas touch.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Mix the flour with the baking powder and cocoa powder and stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Add the almond slivers and stir the batter again.

Place a muffin tray on a baking tray and line the wells with paper cups. Divide the cupcake mixture among the cups and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely afterwards before decorating the Christmas cupcakes.

For the garnish of the Christmas cupcake, roll out the Massa Ticino thinly and cut out 12 round circles in the size of the cupcake with a glass. Possibly brush the cupcake with a little jam, so that the massa ticino holds better.

Now, using icing colored with green food coloring, pipe fine leaves in circles onto the cupcake. After each round, let the icing dry a bit before piping the next smaller round of leaves on top. You should end up with a small Christmas tree on the cupcake.

The easier method, however, is to buy ready-made Christmas marzipan or sugar decorations and fix them on the Christmas cupcake with a dab of jam.
