a dozen cupcake

dah lama rasanya tak buat cupcakes. resepi yg ada semuanya jenis pukal, jenuh berejam2 duduk kat dapur bakar kek batch by batch. jadi, aku pun search internet utk resepi yg mudah, have simple ingredients, dan bakar kat oven pun sekali harung je. Thanks Laura for the recipe. :) This is a very moist vanilla cupcake. amat sesuai di makan waktu bersantai2 kat rumah.
*kaler purple tu versi sesuka hati*

For the cakes
4 oz (110 g) Self raising flour *guna measuring jug, lebih kurang kat level 100g*
4 oz (110 g) Caster sugar *1/2cup dah cukup, tak manis sgt*
4 oz (110 g) Unsalted butter - soften *100g butter, potong ikut garis pembalut from 250g butter*
1 tsp Baking powder
2 Large free range eggs *hentam sajala, apa2 yg ada dalam fridge*
1 tsp Vanilla extract

For the buttercream
5 oz (140 g) Unsalted butter *ambil baki butter tadi - 150g *
10 oz (280 g) Icing sugar *1 cup icing sugar*
Food colouring (Optional)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C / 325°F / Gas mark 3. Don't forget that all ovens vary so you may need to adjust the temperature and cooking time accordingly.

2. Line a cake or muffin tray with your paper cake cases.

3. Mix the butter with an electric whisk until it is light in colour.

4. Add the sugar and whisk again until soft and fluffy.

5. Add the eggs and the vanilla and mix again.

6. Sieve the flour and baking powder into your bowl and mix one more time.

7. Divide the mixture between the cake cases and bake in the oven for about twenty minutes *kena tambah masa membakar sbb at this point, kek aku masih kuning. tambah lagi 20mins baru masak. lepas ni aku nak try adjust suhu, tukar jadik 180°C*. The cakes are cooked when they are golden brown and they spring back when touched. Place the cakes on a wire rack to cool.

8. To make the buttercream whisk the soft butter and gradually add the icing sugar a bit at a time. Add some colour if you fancy it and mix well. Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle with the buttercream and pipe a swirl of it on top of each cake. Decorate as you wish!

preparation time: less than 30mins. jgn letak banyak sgt, habih melimpah. isi separuh jek. actually boleh dapat lebih drpd 12 ketul, maybe sbb bekas ni kecik. lepas cover dengan icing baru nampak lawa sikit. heh heh.
