Vanilla Cupcakes

This cupcake recipe is very simple, perfect for starters. I wanted it plain, no toppings because my son is a bit overweight. I'm afraid he might get big more because of too much sugar consumption.hehe

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1 cup butter, softened (equivalent to 1 bar of butter)

1 cup caster sugar

1/2 cup buttermilk (I can't find buttermilk here so I substituted it w/ 1/2 cup evap milk mix w/ 3 teaspoons of lemon juice)

1 1/2 cups self raising flour, sifted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

*TIP* You can make your own self raising flour. For every 1 cup of all purpose flour, mix it w/ 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt.

Procedure:

1. Preheat the oven to 160C (320F). Line a 12 cupcake pan with cupcake papers. In a medium sized bowl, using a wooden spoon, lightly beat the eggs, add the butter and sugar, then mix until light and fluffy.

2. Add buttermilk, flour and vanilla, and stir to combine. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until light and creamy.

3. Divide the mixture evenly between the cupcake papers. Bake for 18-20 mins until risen and firm to touch. Allow to cool for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
