i LOVE cupcakes!it's like happiness in little cups,topped with cute buttercream deco!
and so i made just a dozen of them since i just wanted to try this new cupcake mixture and it turned out to be really good!it's fluffy and soft and just nice!there's no "muak" feeling to this cupcakes cause it uses NO butter at all!yes,NO butter at all!well it's called buttermilk cupcakes.technically there is butter involved with the buttermilk.Buttermilk is the secret to this mixture!
well here's the recipe if you want to try them!
Buttermilk cupcakes(to make 12 medium sized cups)
1 Cup cake flour
1 sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
2 tsp of vanilla essence
steps:
mix sugar,buttermilk and oil together till combined.put the egg and mix the flour together with baking powder and salt.combine the dry ingredient with the buttermilk mixture(put the dry mixture bit by bit and mix it well so that it'll not lumpy) and lastly add the vanilla.Bake at 180c for 20-25mins!
As for the topping,i made swiss meringue buttercream.the texture is really nice and much better compared to the basic buttercream.swiss meringue gives the cupcakes the lustred-look.i got the recipe for martha stewart's website and here's the link to it :
intially,there were 12 of them but only four left!8 of them were eaten by the boyfriend each time i was done putting the buttercream.so only these four managed to survive his sweet tooth,YET!I couldn't really play around with the deco because my piping nozzles had something wrong with them.Getting new ones tomorrow at Spotlight!wheee
The fondant flower.My first attempt of making flower with fondants!and as you can see with the dotted food colouring,i just simply poured it over the petals because i was too lazy to knead the fondant and the colouring beforehand.
I shall make new batches again tomorrow!but i don't think i'll be uploading them because i'll be busy with my case study!
