Looking for a tasty snack after a 5k or 10k run. Indulge in a delicious strawberry cupcake.... you've earned it!
Ingredients:
{Cupcakes}
1 cup sifted cake flour
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp cold water
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
{Whipped Cream Frosting and topping}
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 packets whip cream stabilizer
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
fruits of your choice, sliced 1/4″ thick
Method:
1.) Make the Cake. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place egg whites in mixing bowl. To the egg yolks and add water, oil, and extracts. Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into another medium mixing bowl and mix the dry ingredients with a wire whisk.
2.) Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites, then mix/whip egg whites to stiff peaks (about 5 minutes). Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and light.
3.) Add half of the batter mixture to the stiff egg whites, being careful not to deflate them. Use a large spatula to fold the batter in with the egg whites until the mixture is just homogenous. Again, be careful in trying not to deflate the egg whites.
4.) Pour batter into cupcake cups and place in the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 12 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes.
5.) Frosting. Pour whipped cream into a large mixing bowl. Add the whip cream stabilizer, powdered sugar then whip to stiff peaks.
6.) Decorate the cupcakes with frosting and fruit.
7) Go for a fun 5k run!
Kevin Hart's Workout: No Laughing Matter!
Kevin Hart motivated hundreds of runners before his RUN FOR HART 5k at Exhibition Place in Toronto. A funny man on stage but serious about running and fitness. It was a great summertime run along the lakeshore in August, 2015. Both Lisa and I ran the 5k not knowing that 6 months later we would create a #cookingontherun video. Kevin’s motivation and energy made the event an runaway success. Check out Kevin’s workout pictures on instagram #kevinhert4real.
