Vanilla Mini Cuppies
Most of the time I bake cakes and cookies only when I have to visit someone or when someone is visiting me. Rarely I bake sweet stuffs for my family, mainly because hubby is not fond of cakes and Neha is quite health conscious for her age 🙂 But she loves these vanilla cupcakes and have been requesting me to bake it for her since few days. So here I am with these cute looking mini cupcakes. Extremely happy with the taste and texture. Perfect crack free and evenly domed cuppies.
I have used a 240 ml cup.
Ingredients:
- All purpose flour 100 gm
- Salt a pinch
- Sugar 50-60 gm
- Baking soda 1/4 tsp
- Baking powder 1/2 tsp
- Vanilla extract 1/2 tsp
- Melted butter 3 tbsp
- Curd 1/4 cup
- Milk 1/2 cup
- Vinegar 2 tsp
Method:
- Preheat the oven at 160 degree Celsius for 10 minutes.
- Sieve the flour, salt and rising agents 3-4 times.
- Line a mini cupcake mould with paper liners or grease the mould with some butter.
- Mix the curd, sugar, milk, vinegar and melted butter till you get a homogeneous mixture.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the sieved dry ingredients and fold it gently using a spatula or a whisk. Do not overmix.
- Pour the mixture into the cupcake cavities and tap the tray gently 3-4 times to remove the air bubbles.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or till a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Remove the tray from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the cupcakes onto a wire rack and allow them to cool.
- Enjoy these yummy cutie cuppies.
Notes:
- Each oven behaves differently, so keep an eye after 15 minutes or adjust the oven temperature accordingly.
- Use a good quality vanilla extract for a better flavour.
- You can replace the butter with oil, but I feel that butter gives a better flavour and taste to these cupcakes.
- You will get around 8-9 normal sized cupcakes with this measurement.
- As always I use very less sugar in my cakes, if you prefer more sweet, you can increase the amount of sugar by a tablespoon or two.
- You can add nuts or tooti frooti or chocochips or cranberries for an additional flavour.
- Use fresh and thick curd which is not very sour and make sure it’s not watery. If it’s too watery remove the water by straining.
