Strawberry Filled Marshmallow Cupcakes

Gorgeous little cupcakes that you can just inhale!
They are so light and fluffy and terribly yummy and filled in the middle with a strawberry jam surprise!
And with a light Marshmallow top, they are not overly sweet like a normal iced cupcake!

Makes approximately 28 smaller cupcakes.

2 ¼ cups White Plain Flour
1 ¼ cups Caster Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Baking Soda (Bi-carb soda)
½ tsp Salt

Wet Ingredients:

1 ½ cups Soymilk (you can sub for another plant milk)
½ tbsp White Wine Vinegar
½ cup Sunflower Oil
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Cupcake filling:
½ Jar Strawberry Jam

Marshmallow ingredients:

Sugar syrup ingredients:
1 ½ cups Sugar
2 tsp Agar Agar Powder (not flakes! If using flakes you need tbsp, not tsp)
80 ml Glucose Syrup
½ cup water

To add to:
¾ cup Aquafaba* (I use Butter bean, but you can use chickpea)
½ tsp Xanthum gum
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Strawberry colour and flavouring** (I used this: (UK) STRAWBERRY FLAVOUR DROP PREMIUM QUALITY FOOD AND DRINK FLAVOURING 30mlAnd in the (USA) Capella Flavor Drops Concentrated & Quick Start Guide Bundle (Sweet Strawberry, 13ml)

Vegan Sprinkles (USA) India Tree Seurat Non-Pareil Party Decoratifs, 3.4 lb
(UK) Vegan sprinkles can be found in ASDA supermarket- they have quite a lot that are vegan! 🙂

* If you are not sure WHAT Aquafaba is, it is the liquid from a can of beans!
yes, for real!!! 🙂
** (Strawberry flavouring drops / colour of choice (please be aware some brand colours and additive can destabilise Aquafaba and make it collapse! The brands listed above however will work fine with it!))


***Don’t know where to buy Agar Agar powder cheaply?

This is the one I use in everything I make, (they ship for free to many places):
(USA FREE DELIVERY $8 / 100 g) Crazee Deal Agar Powder / Faluda / Falooda / China Grass (Vegan Gelatine) Premium High Quality 100G
(USA FREE DELIVERY $15 / 300 g) Crazee Deal Agar Powder / Faluda / Falooda / China Grass (Vegan Gelatine) Premium High Quality 300G

(UK FREE DELIVERY £3.80 / 100g ) Agar Agar Powder (Vegan Gelatine) – 100g (Falooda/Faluda/Ceylon Moss China Grass) DSc

( UK FREE DELIVERY 300g / £6.25) Agar Agar Powder / Faluda / Falooda / China Grass (Vegan Gelatine) Premium High Quality – 300g

Glucose Syrup (USA $7.93 for 8oz) Wilton Glucose to Create Smooth Elastic Gum Paste, 8.5-Ounce

 

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 180 c .Add the dry cake ingredients and mix together : white flour, sugar,baking soda and powder, and the salt.
  • In a jug, add the wet ingredients together
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix in thoroughly.
  • Spoon the mixture into cupcake wrappers in a cupcake tin. you will need approx 20-24 wrappers.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 180c until risen and golden. Check with a skewer before removing from oven. If the skewer comes out clean, they are baked and ready.
  • Allow cakes to cool on a rack completely. When cakes are cool, use a cupcake corer to make a well in the centre, and fill with strawberry jam. You can find cupcake corers on Amazon (USA) Cake Corer Decorating Divider Cupcake Plunger Flower Shape Cupcake Corer
    (UK) Molder Model Kitchen Cupcake Muffin Cake Corer Plunger Cutter Pastry Decorating Divider New
  • Now, to make the marshmallow:Add 1.5 cups of sugar to a dry saucepan along with the 2 tsp agar powder and mix in thoroughly.
  • Add the 1/2 cup of water and the glucose syrup and give a really good mix to blend in all the agar powder.
  • Keep stirring as you bring the mixture to the boil. We need to get this to 250f on a candy thermometre, yet keep it moving from time to time so it doesn’t burn.You may find a candy thermometre useful to make these (and alot of other recipes I have ) , otherwise use the cold water test described in the instructions below.
    You can get a cheap candy thermometer here in the UK/ Europe: Kitchen Craft Cooking Thermometer
    (£2.20) and here in the USA ($5.99) : Farberware Protek Candy and Deep Fry Glass Thermometer, Clear
    Using a candy thermometer to check is most accurate, however, if you belligerently refuse to buy one, you can do the ice cold water test to see if it is up to temperature , by taking a glass of cold water and dropping some syrup into it.
    If it is near the right temp it will form a firm ball which you can squish with your fingers once it hits the water
  • Whilst you are doing that, add the 3/4 Butterbean aquafaba to a mixing bowl with the 1/2 tsp xanthum gum and whip till it forms stiff peaks.
  • Once your sugar syrup has reached 250f on the candy thermometre, turn off the heat and gently stir to cool the syrup down and flatten the bubbles.
  • Now it’s time to add it to the Aquafaba foam, so with the mixer running, slowly add it in a thin stream bit by bit until all the sugar syrup is incorporated.
  • Now add the vanilla , strawberry flavouring and the colour and keep beating while it fluffs up even more and cools down a little.
  • These were piped using a Large Wiltons 4B tip(USA)Wilton No4b Carded Open Star Tip (UK) Wilton Decorating Tip, No.4B Starand a 50 cm piping bag(USA)JB Prince Heavy Cotton Pastry Bag 20 inch (50cm)(UK)Master Class Reusable Cotton Pastry / Icing Piping Bag, 50 cm (19.5″)to give that nice fine rippled shape
    Taking a LARGE piping bag fill the bag with the marshmallow and pipe the topping on the cakes.
  • Add your vegan sprinkles before the marshmallow sets , so they stick.
