MINI VANILLA CUPCAKES
This recipes was passed on to me by a friend’s mother who had been using it for almost 20 years. This is a popular cupcake recipe, which is easy to make, and is very light and spongy. You will find many versions like this one…
Ingredients:
Flour – 2 cups
Baking Powder – 2 tsp
Salt – ½ tsp
Butter – ½ cup
Sugar 1 ¼ cup
Eggs – 2
Milk – 1 cup
Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 190deg C.
  • Grease well or line 2 mini-muffin trays.
  • Sift together flour + baking powder + salt 3 times. Keep aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugar well on high speed until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in vanilla essence, followed by eggs beaten in 1 by 1.
  • Now beat in flour and milk alternatively till well incorporated.
  • Put about a tsp full in each mini muffin casing, about ¾ full, as it will rise.
  • You can add sprinkles on top if you like.

    Seriously, this is a wonderful batter to work with, it whipped up just as smooth and light as velvet. I filled with with Godiva White Chocolate infused cream cheese and a tiny rosette of raspberry butter cream frosting. Nice enough for the cover of a cookbook:)
