Cupcakes

Cupcakes..like a fairy tale..

There is something about cupcakes decorated with swirls of frosting and adorned with sprinkles...soul food I call it...every bite into the soft, creamy cupcake is a delight...
The recipe I am using is pretty basic and simple but the result is awesome.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder

Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.
Whisk together butter, sugar and light brown sugar.

 Whisk in eggs and vanilla essence.

Add the flour and baking powder.

Pour the batter into cupcake tin.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Whip cream icing
 Ingredients
120 gm butter
200 gm icing sugar
1/3 cup whip cream
1 tsp vanilla essence

Beat the butter and sugar well. Add the whip cream and beat again.

You can use any kind of nozzle to pipe the cream. I prefer using a disposable piping bag and do away with the hassle of cleaning the piping bags.

Here is an easy method to put the icing into the piping bag. Take a coffee mug and set the piping bag inside the mug.

Fold the sides over the edges of the mug and simply put in the icing.

Fold up the edges and your bag is ready.
