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:
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- Place sugar, butter, eggs, milk and vanilla extract in a bowl.
- Beat to combined.
- Gradually add in the flour.
- Beat well till mixture is smooth and pale.
- Stir in chocolate chip, raisins, nuts, etc, if you like.
- Spoon mixture into muffin cups.
- Bake for 15 minutes till golden on top.
- 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.

wah really looks quite easy leh ... and sounds fail proof. I have a talent for ruining ALL my bakes though. I'm so tempted to try this, at most waste 15 minutes of my life right? hee :p thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDelete15 mins is really worth trying. I always take about an hr at least for most of the bakes.
ReplyDeletehmm... after seeing this, I am craving for sweet things now :) looked so delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone has used a good (and reliable) converter on the internet, please let me know. I would love to try it again.
Thanks!
look soft and moist!!Yum yum:))
ReplyDeletewah! can't believe i can get such a simple recipe wrong! i actually jotted down 60ml milk as 600ml!!! it looked so wrong i reduced it by half. and still, my muffins were 'boiling'!! i added more flour and the final products tastes rather edible! will try this again over the weekend! thanks for the yummy recipe! =p~

Curlsjang,
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.
