I look at our pictures I can't believe that was already 5 years... Oh, one moment. But before I indulge in memories of how long ago it was, I offered to prepare the cake. Here I must say that for me this business exciting. I had made cupcakes a couple of times, but they turned out kind are not. Too oily, too dry, in General, not mine, and that's it. But with this recipe it all came together from the first minute. To begin with, that will beat into a soft mousse eggs until the foam and add the sugar. Whip a few minutes, until the sugar is dissolved, and the cupcake did not feel the egg taste (I have a been a couple of times).

We need the juice of one large orange and a little peel.

Softened butter cut in small cubes, add to eggs. Pour the juice and put the zest.

Further, we need to sift the flour and baking powder. Oh, I always wanted to do this shot! Yay!)))

Cake pan put some butter, pour into it the dough and send in a preheated 180 degree oven for 40-50 minutes. It took me 45.

I'm a little scared that during cooking the cake, as it were floating in the juice. Don't worry. This juice will soak into the cake and make it incredibly moist. Here is our handsome.

While our cake was baked, I decided to prepare caramel syrup. Part of: sugar, honey, zest, star anise and water. Bring to boil the mixture and cook on a slow fire, here's the thing: I syrup passed and were able to make amazing caramel threads. So at the time: if you want a liquid syrup, cook for about 3-4 minutes, if you like caramel strands, the color will become brown, and everything will start bubbling heavily. If about time, I think, 6-7 minutes I have left.

Next we begin to decorate our cake. Part of the syrup I just podtopila, poured on the cake and put the nuts and the rest of the syrup stretched myself and created a caramel thread. I just dropped him a spoon and pulled, it turned out these gorgeous jewelry.

That's all! The recipe is simple and very beautiful! I hope You enjoy it!)
