Colored Vanilla Cupcakes



I made these gorgeous cupcakes for a friend on her birthday. They are super easy , moist and  delicious !

This recipe yields 6 cupcakes or 1 layer in a 9 inch round pan.

Ingredients :
Flour : 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp
Sugar : 1/2 cup
Egg : 1
Milk : 1/4 cup
Oil : 3 tbsp
Baking powder : 1/2 tsp
Vanilla essence : 1/2 tsp
Salt : a pinch



Method :

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Keep aside.

Beat egg and sugar..

...till light and fluffy.

Add vanilla essence, milk, oil, and flour.

Beat till smooth. Do not over beat.

Divide the batter in 6 bowls.

Color each bowl.

I made purple by mixing red and blue. and orange by mixing red and yellow !
Cool, eh ?!

Fill the liners 3/4th of the way. 
I had some leftover batter, with which i made a 7th multicolored cupcake !


Bake in a preheated oven at 180 for 12-15 minutes or when a toothpick inserted comes out clean (check out the purple one, i tortured it with a toothpick :P )

Top if off with your favorite frosting. I used chocolate ganache.

  3. Hi Sidra! Greetings from northern California! I stopped by to visit. What a great blog. Even medical students need a safe haven where their creative passions can thrive. Yours is the kitchen. Your colors for the cupcakes looked like an artist at work with her papers of paint. Beautiful. And of course the cupcakes looked so good. They are a weakness of mine.
    By day i teach psychology at a college. But I also write a blog about food and my musings on life and love. Please stop by. Visit. Maybe follow. That would be cool.
