I do not want to start the post with yet another apology for being away ;) as it is just the beginning of another fabulous year & also I am in a happy happy mood to share with you all the arrival of our bundle of joy - Dhruv. He is nearing his 4th month now & so you would all be understanding my busy schedule & lack of time to concentrate on other affairs :D But many a times I had been wanting to visit this another baby of mine as well, but you see, Dhruv takes precedence :D :D
I was planning to post this cupcake recipe on his 100th day as a celebration but was not able to. This cupcake stays close to my heart for another special reason as I craved for it the most during my pregnancy time. Weird or cute, you guys should say, but this muffin stays top on my list still ! It is super easy to make with quite a few calories loaded as it has no egg & no butter. And it is fluffy soft and moist and just melts in your mouth and you can relish it absolutely fine without any topping or frosting or icing. So I am sure you would want to try this out today eve itself with your coffee & do let me know how it turned out :)
I Took :
Preparation Time : 15 minutes
Baking Time : 40 minutes
Makes : 20-25 muffins
I Used:
All purpose flour/Maida | - | 1 ½ cups - 3 tbsp |
Corn flour | - | 3 tbsp |
Sugar | - | ¾ cup |
Baking powder | - | 1 tsp |
Baking Soda | - | ½ tsp |
Oil | - | ½ cup |
Curd | - | 1 cup |
Vanilla Essence | - | 1 tsp |
The Way:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degree C
- Keep the muffin tray ready with the muffin liners or if you want to bake it as a cake, grease a 6 or 7 inch pan with butter & dust it with a tsp of flour
- Sieve well the all purpose flour & corn flour in a bowl and ensure that they are evenly blended & mixed
- In another bowl, mix well sugar & curd. Now add baking powder & baking soda into the mixture & mix well and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes
- Now to this frothy mixture add oil & vanilla essence & mix well
- And then add the sieved flour, one tbsp at a time, and whisk well
- Once all the flour is mixed, pour in 1-2 tbsps of the batter into the muffin liners (or the baking pan)
- Bake them for around 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean
- Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes & serve with ice-cream or chocolate syrup or any dressing of your choice
Cheers,
Chitz
