Magdalenas – Spanish Cuppy Cake & (Gl’ories Torre Agbar)

Posted On June 22, 2010

Magdalenas are Spanish tea cakes that have a fresh lemon flavor and medium sweetness. I have been fond of these Magdalenas when I first tasted here in the German ALDI shop. The following recipe yields 10 cupcakes.

Ingredients:

1. All-purpose flour – 1 1/2 cup
2. Egg – 1
3. Sugar – 1/2 Cup
4. Milk – 1/4 cup
5. Baking Powder – 1/2 tsp
6. Margarine – 3 Tbs
7. Lemon peels – 1 Tbs
8. A little Sugar for sprinkling

Method:

1. Add the egg to a bowl and beat it with a whisker. Add the margarine to it and mix it well.

2. Add the sugar, baking powder, milk, lemon peel, and flour to the above mixture slowly and mix it well.

3. Spoon this mixture to a muffins tin. Fill up only 3/4, as it would puff it up to full after baking. Now sprinkle little sugar crystals on top of the cupcakes.

4. Preheat the oven and bake it for 20 minutes at 180 C.

Gl’ories Torre Agbar

This Akbar tower is one of the tourist attraction and it is the 3rd largest buildings in Barcelona. It houses many offices and luxury Hotels. This building looks adorable in the night when it is illuminated by the 4500 LED lights which are attached to its glass wall.

We saw it only in the day time. But we did see the night view pictures of this Akbar building. The most prominent color was blue and red. If you are visiting Barcelona just don’t miss this massive building.
