How to make Vanilla cupcake?

Preparing vanilla cupcakes is super easy, all you need is all purpose flour or plain flour, powdered sugar, oil or butter, yogurt and vanilla essence or vanilla extract. This is an eggless cupcake recipe so I have replaced eggs with yogurt. Instead of butter I prefer using oil in my recipes. You can use any unflavoured oil like vegetable oil to prepare this recipe. Always remember to use powdered sugar in this recipe as sugar granules can ruin the recipe. Also I recommend using vanilla extract rather than essence as the former gives better strong flavour of vanilla.

How to prepare frosting?

There are many variations of frosting when you prepare cupcakes. I prepare it with very basic frosting which is whipping cream frosting. For preparing whipping cream frosting you need a chilled whip cream, powdered sugar (sifted through a sifter) and vanilla essence. I prefer to place my whipping glass bowl inside the freezer for 15 minutes before whipping, this results in quick preparation. You should whip the cream using an electric beater or stand mixer, if you don’t have any of that the hand whisker works fine as well. Now whip the cream by adding sifted powdered sugar in batches. whip it until stiff peaks formed. Do not over beat it or under beat it.

I have prepared some more cake recipes such as –

1. Eggless Chocolate Brownie – Easy brownie recipe made without eggs.
2. Tutti Frutti Cake – A tea cake prepared without eggs using tutti frutti.
3. Biscuit Cake – This is a no bake cake prepared using digestive biscuits and chocolate.
4. Chocolate Fudge Brownie – A fudge brownie recipe using eggs.
5. Red Velvet Cake – This is a very famous cake which has red and white colour.
6. Banana Bread – That is everyones favourite  I guess. This is also an eggless version.
