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 :)
