15 minutes Cupcake
15分钟简易小蛋糕


Huh? What 15 minutes cupcake? Weird name, right? Well, I don't how to call this. :P It actually a normal cupcake except this is recipe only takes 15 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to bake. Hence, I gave it this name. ;) Had this idea to try this out after seeing a similar recipe on cake in a magazine.

It's not only fast to make but very easy too. And you will be surprised with the results too. At least, my husband and I was surprised. Before, we bite into one, I was telling him, "Just dump everything inside, beat, beat, beat and bake. 15 minutes later - done. Hmm ... I don't know... "

It turned out moist and fluffy. Yeah, it won't lose out to any other complicated recipes I have tried (baking). I mean if I spend 30 minutes to get this result. I won't want to spend 1 hour or more to get similar result mah. Oh, and utensils used are lesser, hence, less washing. Okay. Maybe, I'm a amateur. I can't really tell the difference lah. :P

But if you had always wanted to try baking or have failed many attempts, try this. In my opinion, this is fail proof. ;)



Ingredients:
  • 225g Self Raising Flour, sifted
  • 130g Sugar
  • 125g Butter, soften
  • 3 Eggs, lightly beaten
  • 60ml Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

How to do it:
  1. Preheat oven to 180C.
  2. Place sugar, butter, eggs, milk and vanilla extract in a bowl.
  3. Beat to combined.
  4. Gradually add in the flour.
  5. Beat well till mixture is smooth and pale.
  6. Stir in chocolate chip, raisins, nuts, etc, if you like.
  7. Spoon mixture into muffin cups.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes till golden on top.
  9. Cool on rack.

Note:
I used both a 12 hole and 6 hole pan.
12 hole pan cupcake took 15 minutes to bake.
6 hole pan cupcake took 20 minutes to bake.

  2. 15 mins is really worth trying. I always take about an hr at least for most of the bakes.

  4. Oh it sounds pretty easy so I tried it today. I am so embarrassed to say that it came out rather densed, I think I must have converted some of the ingredients wrongly, I am in the US, so need to know the measurements in cups, TBS, tps.

    If anyone has used a good (and reliable) converter on the internet, please let me know. I would love to try it again.

    Thanks!

    Maybe you like to try using this http://southernfood.about.com/library/info/blconv.htm for conversion?

    Also, I understand if you over work the batter, the cake will come out dense too.
