1.   Something popular that I can't stand/just don't "get" is    trying to be fake to gain "points" :P hate it like anything.

2.   Something unpopular that I secretly love is  roaming around the roads late at night:D   .

3.  When I've had a bad day I   take out the anger accumulating in me or cry for a while.

4. I'd prefer   texting(SMS)  to    calling   any day :D

5.  Something that makes me nervous is    giving presentations in front of the class:S (oh! yes i suffer stage fright):P

6.  Something worth fighting for is     living a positive life. (People would always show you a dark and worse side)

7.  When people think of me, I hope they think    I'm shy and dull and stubborn. Let them think what they can,I don't care :D

Vanilla Cupcakes

The very simple baking experiment with good and yummy results:) 

So this is my shopping for the recipe:P the paper cups, flour, vanilla essence, baking powder and the muffin baking tray:D (Super Victoria store) :P :D


Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 125 gm butter
• 2cups plain flour
• 1 cup castor sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Procedure:

• Before starting with the ingredients switch on your oven at 170 C to let it be preheated.
• Beat the eggs, butter by an electric beater ( use a blender if you don't have one) till creamy and frothy. Add into it the castor sugar and salt and mix it well.
• Now pour your mixture into a large bowl and sift into it 2 cups of flour in small batches and whisk it with a wooden spatula.

• Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and mix it well.
• Add 1/2 cup of milk and mix the batter till creamy and smooth.
• Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence to the mixture.
• Take a tablespoon and fill 3/4th of the paper cups. avoid overfilling of the cups.

• Place your muffin tray with the filled paper cups into the preheated oven and bake it for 30-35 minutes.

(Don't mind the nasty price tag :P)

(if you don't have muffin baking tray, bake them directly on your oven tray)

• The best way to check whether your cup cakes are baked properly or not, is just poke the center of the cake with a tooth pick. If it comes out smooth without any crumbs it is perfectly baked. but yes don't forget to cook till it develops golden color.
• Makes about 35 mini cup cakes.

 (many of the cup cakes were eaten as it came out of the oven :P so these don't count to be 35 :D )

• Serve with and enjoy with tea or coffee :)
