I had always wanted to try my hand at making cupcakes. First few attempts were disastrous. My son , for whom I was trying to make it refused to even touch it after the first bite. But then as they say practice makes perfect I finally found the right recipe and made these yummy cupcakes. They are soft and crumbly.
How do I know they are yummy? My son has two a day!!

Vanilla Cupcakes |
Ingredients
1/2 Cup unsalted butter, bring it to room temperature
1 Cup granulated white Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla essense
1 1/2 Cup all purpose flour (Maida)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 Cup milk at room temperature
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 Degrees C for 5-8 mins. I do all my baking in microwave oven with convection mode.
- Line the muffin cups with paper.
- In a deep bowl , beat the butter till its smooth. Add sugar to it and beat further till fluffy.
- Now add the eggs and vanilla essence and beat again.
- Separately, sift the flour and baking powder 2-3 times so that the baking powder assimilates completely in the flour. divide it roughly in 3 portions.
- Now add the flour and the milk to the butter-sugar-egg mix alternately. Start and end with the flour.
- Add it in this pattern Flour-milk-flour-milk-flour. After each addition beat the mix nicely.
- Batter is ready. It would have a idly batter like consistency and should make roughly 12-13 cupcakes. Scrape down the sides and evenly fill in the muffin cups with a spoon.
- Bake for 19-20 mins or until the toothpick when inserted into it comes out clean.
Let it cool down and enjoy!
Tips:
- Fill the muffin cups to the 3/4 levels that way your cupcake will remain inside the paper cups when fully baked.
- Place the muffin cups on the wire mesh inside the microwave, that way they will get heated optimally.
