Basic Cupcake
基本小蛋糕


Baking again! I'm determine to try baking the usual stuff that I used to get from my friends (who were very into baking then). I'm always told that they are easy especially cupcakes, they said.
Cupcakes are very versatile. I have seen so many types of cupcakes. Cupcakes with fillings, fruits, frosting, etc. So I guess I need to try to make the basic cupcake first and from there I can add "salt and vinegar" (Chinese term on adding additional stuff).
Hmm ... yeah. I think I can handle cupcakes. My first attempt on cupcakes turned out rather well. My kids finished the whole lot of mini cupcakes!
Ingredients:
  • 120g Unsalted Butter, soften
  • 130 grams White Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence
  • 210 grams All purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 60ml Milk
How to do it:
  1. Preheat oven to 170C.
  2. Lightly butter or line tray with pleated paper cups.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in eggs, one at a time.
  5. Beat well before adding the next egg.
  6. Add in vanilla essence and mix well.
  7. In a separate bowl shift the flour, baking powder and salt.
  8. Add to the butter and egg mixture in parts.
  9. Add in the milk.
  10. Beat till combined.
  11. Fill the muffin cups with the batter and bake for about 18-20 minutes or use the toothpick test.
  12. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
