Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a food processor, pulse sugar until super fine, about 2 minutes (if you don't have a food processor caster sugar should also work).
- In a mixing bowl, sift together half of the sugar, the cake flour and the salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg whites, water, vanilla and almond extract and cream of tartar until well combined, about 2 minutes.
- Switch to a hand mixer and whip mixture on medium speed while slowly adding remaining sugar to mixture, until medium peaks form.
- Sift just enough of the flour mixture in to evenly dust the top of the egg white mixture and using a spatula gently fold flour layer into egg white mixture and continue this process until all of the flour mixture has been incorporated (I did this in 12 batches).
- Fold in chopped sprinkles.
- Divide batter among paper lined muffin cups, filling each cup nearly full.
- Bake in preheated oven 19 - 22 minutes until golden and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Cool completely then spread Cream Cheese Whipped Cream over cupcakes just before serving and top with rainbow sprinkles.
- For the Cream Cheese Whipped Cream Topping:.
- In a mixing bowl whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Add cream cheese to whipped cream along with powdered sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Store in refrigerator.
