Vanilla CupCake

The Perfect Recipe

I have a compelling reason to say, My recipe is perfect.

Because I tried and tried, not just a few times but many times and the recipe never failed me.

I always get full loads of thumps up when I make this at home, especially from my daughter who loves to eat cupcake toppings only but not the cupcakes. I am extremely happy when she demands more and finishes the entire cupcake with a Thank you note.

So I am pretty confident that, the recipe I am sharing here will not fail you and gives you a fantastic result.

It’s an adaptation of a few recipes, I do tempt to research a lot when I want to make something and I have some specific avid cooking websites for reference purpose.

It’s Vanilla cupcake but as per my daughter’s request, I bake some of them with sugar toppings, remaining batter mix with chocolate chips to get the feeling.

Let’s get into the process of making.

PREPARATION

1. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy in a bowl, set them aside.
2. Sift All-purpose flour, cornflour, baking powder, or cake flour together with salt in a separate bowl, set them aside.
3. Beat egg, buttermilk, vanilla essence, baking soda and vinegar in a separate bowl, set them aside
4. Gently fold by adding dry mixture ( flour mixture) and egg mixture to the butter mixture. Gently beat them for a minute, do not overbeat as we need to maintain the airiness.
