Eggless Cupcakes Recipe
Cupcakes are like little bites of heaven!
They are the perfect treat when you want something sweet and indulgent, but don't want to commit to a whole cake (because let's be real, who has the self-control to resist a whole cake?).
Moreover, you can easily customise Cupcake recipes however you want to. You can mix and match flavours, frostings, and decorations to create unique combinations.
But before we get into the specifics of a Vanilla Cupcake recipe, let us see how they got their name in the first place. Cupcakes got their name from how the recipe was measured: different measures of the ingredients in cups.
In the earlier days, Cupcakes were baked in teacups or ramekins (small clay pots) – and therefore, they became a cup of cake. They were initially called Number cakes or even 1234 cakes. This is because the name made it easier to remember the quantity of ingredients.
Today, Cupcakes have become a pop culture trend, to the point that there are entire bakeries dedicated to making only Cupcakes. The flavours of a cupcake go as far as your imagination does. They can be decorated as elegantly as a cake and make for the perfect way to celebrate any occasion.
Cupcakes also have different names in other countries. For instance, in Britain, they are called fairy cakes; and sometimes, also butterfly cakes. In effect, there is no best Cupcake recipe. Each one is special in its way and it is also quite easy to make Vanilla Cupcakes and its variations when you have an ingredient like Nestlé MILKMAID.
To dish out these little cups of delight, you will need ingredients like Nestlé MILKMAID, maida, baking soda, baking powder, butter, and vanilla essence. To prepare the frosting, you will need unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla essence, powdered sugar, and softened butter.
So, if you're in need of a sweet pick-me-up, go ahead and bake yourself scrumptious Vanilla Cupcakes with smooth, melt-in-the-mouth frosting.
