Do you know this sweet treat called capital cupcake? We suggest you prepare it. Capital cupcake with raisins was very popular in Soviet times. This hearty sweet made from available products was even placed on the holiday table. However, in order to prepare a truly delicious cupcake, they followed a certain standard, that is, GOST. Strictly allotted proportions and an established sequence of actions in preparation made it possible to prepare a tasty and aromatic capital cupcake with raisins. Let's talk about how to prepare it.
1Useful recommendations
- Use only dark raisins. It will give baked goods an aroma and a unique taste.
- If desired, you can increase the amount of oil. This will only make the taste richer.
- Choose your butter carefully. Choose not vegetable-butter, but 100% butter. This oil is more expensive than its counterpart, but it helps to achieve the desired consistency of the dough.
- The raisins should be evenly distributed throughout the cake, so before baking, mix the dough thoroughly with a fork and spoon. You can also shake the dough a little.
- The amount of raisins in the cupcake can be neglected and you can use not the required 200 grams of dark dried grapes, but all 250 or 300 grams of raisins.
- After cooking, let the capital cake cool slightly. This will help maintain its shape.
- If you want to decorate the cupcake, sprinkle it with powdered sugar. Please note that you need to decorate the cupcake only after it has cooled a little.
Cupcake “Sverdlovsky” according to GOST
Important point: all ingredients must be at room temperature. Therefore, you need to remove not only the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it has time to soften, but also the eggs and condensed milk.
When the butter is soft enough, you can start making the cake batter. First, using a mixer, beat the softened butter for 5-10 minutes. Continuing to beat it, add sugar and vanilla sugar in small portions and beat the resulting mixture for another 5-7 minutes.
Pour condensed milk into the mixture of sugar and butter in a thin stream, continuously whisking with a mixer. If the sugar does not melt when whipping the butter, then after adding condensed milk the mixture becomes a little thinner and the sugar begins to actively dissolve.
After condensed milk, add eggs to the mixture. They need to be added one at a time, continuing to work with a whisk. Bring the mixture to an airy and fluffy mass.
Let's move on to kneading the dough: sift the flour and add it along with the baking powder into the dough. As soon as the flour is incorporated into the butter mixture, stop mixing.
The raisins must first be washed and completely dried so that there are no extra drops of water in the dough. Only after this can it be added to the mass. Pour a tablespoon of sweet dessert wine into the raisins and mix the dough with a spoon or spatula.
Place the dough in a round pan, greased with any oil or lined with parchment paper. The oven must first be heated to 170 degrees. Place the pan with the cake batter in a hot oven on a medium rack.
The Sverdlovsky cake is baked for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes at 170 degrees, but if you use a muffin tin with a hole in the middle or an oblong rectangular one, the baking time will decrease. Observe the condition of the cake and if you see a golden brown crust on top, and a wooden skewer comes out of the dough dry, the cake can be removed.
Let the hot cake cool on a wire rack.
All that remains is to prepare the syrup for glazing. Usually, such sugar glazing was previously done to ensure that the cupcakes did not go stale for a long time and retained their presentation before purchase.
Mix sugar and water in a saucepan or ladle and place over high heat. We wait until the mixture boils and the sugar dissolves, then boil for 1 minute.
Let the finished syrup cool slightly (about 6-7 minutes), and then coat the top of the cake with it using a brush.
When the syrup has hardened, you can treat yourself to a delicious cupcake.

How to prepare “Volzhsky cake”
1. This cake is prepared using margarine (cannot be replaced with butter). Beat margarine with a mixer along with sugar and salt until fluffy. Then the eggs are gradually introduced and the mass continues to beat.
2. Don't forget to add vanilla while continuing to beat. The mass should be fluffy.
3. Add flour and raisins at the very end. Then pour the resulting dough into a baking dish (mine was rectangular). Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake until the cake acquires a beautiful golden brown hue. You can check its readiness with a toothpick.
4. The fudge can be cooked in advance; it will need to be infused. Pour a glass of sugar into half a glass of water and heat the mass over high heat. When it boils, you need to remove the foam, then reduce the heat. According to the recipe, the fudge is cooked at a temperature of 115 degrees (I check readiness like this: I drop a drop on a saucer. If it does not spread, then the fudge is ready). After removing from the heat, the pan with fudge should be quickly placed in cold water.
5. Beat the slightly warm syrup with a mixer at full speed.
6. Beat the fudge until it acquires a delicate creamy consistency. Then you need to put it in the refrigerator overnight, so it will become more flexible. That is why it is better to prepare the fudge in advance.
7. Spread our cupcake with fondant - and it’s ready to eat! If you have time, refrigerate the cake for at least an hour.

Add the sifted flour with baking powder and knead the dough for one minute at low speed. Transfer the dough into a mold and bake for an hour at 170 C.
Attention! I used a rectangular cake pan, size 10*20 cm. Preheat the oven to 170 C. Cupcakes with cottage cheese can be baked in pans of any size.

Cupcake in the oven
Cupcake is a popular confectionery product with various fillings. The history of its origin goes back to the distant past, during the existence of Ancient Rome. It was then that people came up with the idea of mixing nuts, raisins, pomegranate and other ingredients into barley puree, resulting in a cake.
This type of dessert became widespread only in the 16th century thanks to the advent of granulated sugar. After this, cupcakes became very popular in many European countries, where they were supplemented with their traditional ingredients, each time coming up with something new. Over the centuries, the recipe for the dessert has changed in accordance with the characteristics of the cultures of peoples. That is why galleries, muffins, etc. soon appeared.
Today the dessert is usually baked from yeast or sponge dough. The same dried fruits are used as a filler, as well as any nuts, jams, preserves, fruits and even vegetables. It is believed that the best cake is a small round shape, designed for one cup of tea or coffee.
