First of all, about the brine. It should be a pickle in vinegar, is very well suited to pickle tomatoes. Don't worry, the cupcake will not have the slightest signs of the taste of brine. The amount of soda – not a bug, it is 1 tsp. Soda reacts with the vinegar in the brine, and they neutralize each other. Vegetable oil should be exactly 10 tbsp, Not 6, not 7, not 8))) All of these options I already tried) it's not the same. AND YES. Oil also is not felt. Ie it is clear, of course, that the test has oil, but did not say what vegetable, not creamy. You know, typically in any test except the yeast, the taste of vegetable oil is clear. But in this test – no! Thus, the brine heat with the sugar until the sugar dissolves, add cinnamon, zest, vanilla, pour in the oil, cool.

Flour, soda, baking powder and cocoa mix and sift.

Form grease with oil, butter or, you can optionally sprinkle with flour. To turn on the oven to warm up.

Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until smooth, the result is a fairly sticky dough.

To put it into shape and leave literally half a minute - a minute. And immediately put in the oven. Leave the dough waiting for the oven not heating – the reaction of baking soda with vinegar all over, on the same baking powder the cake will not be as lush.

Bake about 30 minutes at 180 degrees check with a toothpick as usual. Don't worry, the cupcake in this photo such a strange color, because the cooking process was captured on my phone. And so to eating help arrived, armed with a 13 mega pixels)

The recipe my mom gave a distant relative. Doubting, my mum decided to cook Chudo-Yudo and called me to the tasting, keeping membership secret. And only watching smetana my third piece of cake, mom, it's calmed down, dictated the recipe. The cupcake is just wonderful, a crazy combination of pickle juice, cinnamon, vanilla and zest creates an entirely new and unique fragrance. It is impossible to guess that no tile of chocolate and butter! The color is dark, rich. Cupcake pretty long rests in the refrigerator, not cherstveya (tested randomly, and the remaining slice was hidden, pushed and discovered 4 days later))) In General, I advise all lovers of chocolate cupcakes as soon as the heat subsides, try out this recipe, and hope you too will like.
