- 35 g (⅓ cup) Sugar
- ½ tsp Lime juice (or lemon juice)
Directions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
- Line a cupcake mold with paper liners.
2. Prepare the Base:
- In a bowl, mix the oil, sifted flour, and condensed milk until smooth.
- Add the egg yolks and whole egg, and beat until the mixture is homogeneous.
3. Prepare the Meringue:
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with lime juice until foamy.
- Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
4. Combine and Bake:
- Gently fold the meringue into the base mixture using a spatula, using enveloping motions to keep the batter light and airy.
- Pour the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cupcakes are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Serve:
- Let the cupcakes cool completely in the pan before unmolding.
- Enjoy them as is or add a drizzle of glaze for extra sweetness!
Tips for Success
- Room Temperature Eggs: Use room temperature eggs for better volume when beating the egg whites.
- Gentle Folding: Be careful not to overmix when combining the meringue with the base to maintain the fluffy texture.
- Customize: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
- Glaze Option: Top with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk, or drizzle with more condensed milk for a decadent touch.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
