It's a Cupcake Sunday !



Today is sunday
yeah ... nothing special
but to me , it is ..
cuz
i'm not working for once ! wheeeee ^^ ...
and
as promise
i'm back here today with a brand new baking entry !


let's check out what i did in the whole afternoon ..


vanilla buttermilk cupcakes with color frosting

Ingredients


1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
¼ cup butter, room temperature
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
¼ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 350F.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl , beat the butter and sugar together until it looks creamy. Beat in the egg and the vanilla powder and vanilla extracts until mixture is smooth.
Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until almost combined. Add buttermilk and stir, again, until almost combined. Add the rest of the flour and stir until all ingredients are mixed in.
Divide batter evenly into muffin cups.


Bake for 18-20 minutes at 350F, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.


after cupcakes well risen and firm to touch
leave on the rack for about 10 mins before frosting .

the icing looks abit too much. wouldnt it takes very long to dry and would it be too sweet?

but anyway, the cupcakes are lovely! and smiling to yourself FIRST thing when you look into the mirror really help makes your day a better one!

russ said...

seeing ur cupcakes def brightens up everyone's day.so when are u teaching me to bake?

Air said...

ur drawings and all ur personal notes on it are so cute and funny!
hah....u r definitely one of the few who would go to the trouble of planning and drawing ur concepts out for baking and cooking presentations...=P

I'm not a cupcake fan..but i think u did great! hmm but dunno why ur frosting seems a bit wet though...or must it wait to dry? comparing with those i see outside, the cupcakes' frosting normally dryer and a rather plastic-ky fake feel..haha...should try to achieve tat next time? but then again im not expert so yar..i'll still love ur cupcakes any time!cos it's DUNCAN's! =)

Btw..who helped u take the photos?!??
hahahaha....i jus realised that u couldn't be taking the photos urself..
muaha...prob ur brother?
am glad u had time to do ur baking..
Big Smile too! =)
