Recipe for fluffy egg yolk cupcakes
Looking for a cupcake recipe, but have egg yolks in the fridge that might go to waste? No worries! Bake my cupcakes, which are made only from egg yolks. Just mix the basic ingredients together and add your favorite toppings (if you like), such as raisins, nuts, or fruits. The batter made from egg yolks alone makes the cupcakes delicate and moist inside, while a crispy crust adds a unique flavor. I recommend trying them with a cup of hot tea or coffee.

Cupcakes made only from egg yolks – notes
The children again persuaded me to bake meringue and again I was left with egg yolks, not knowing what to do with them. In summer, it’s less of a problem, because I would probably make ice cream from them, but in winter it’s a bit worse. I did some searching and found a recipe for these simple egg yolk cupcakes.
How to make egg yolk cupcakes – tips
The egg yolks need to be thoroughly whisked with sugar – until they are almost white and thick. Just like for kogel mogel. Only then do we add sifted flour and melted butter. Thanks to the strong aeration of the egg yolks, the cupcakes turn out very fluffy and soft. I added a little vanilla extract to my cupcakes, but you can use your favorite – lemon or almond would fit perfectly. If you have more egg yolks, make a double batch of the batter and instead of cupcakes, bake an egg yolk cake in a loaf pan (then extend the baking time), or in a rectangular pan. If you feel like it, you can also add small fruits to these egg yolk cupcakes.

Recipe for Egg Yolk Cupcakes
Cupcakes made only from egg yolks are an exceptionally tasty and satisfying snack, ideal for lovers of sweet baked goods. These delicious small cupcakes are easy to prepare and are a great way to use up excess egg yolks left over from making meringue or other recipes that use only egg whites.
To prepare these delicious cupcakes, simply whisk the egg yolks with sugar until fluffy (similar to kogel mogel), combine with the remaining ingredients, and then bake in the oven. You can also add aromatic spices to the cupcake batter, such as vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg, to give them an extraordinary flavor. After baking, you can drizzle the cupcakes with melted chocolate, sprinkle them with powdered sugar, or serve them with whipped cream. Served this way, they will be an excellent addition to a warming tea or delicious coffee. Cupcakes without egg whites are a recipe worth saving for later and using whenever you have extra egg yolks.
