Yesterday i made my favorite vanilla cupcakes:) It is quite hard to find a good cupcake recipe without the cupcakes coming out as "sugar bombs". The one I use is from the Hummingbird Bakery book
and it is simply delicious!
Tip 1: always have your ingredients at room temperature
Tip 2: always sift the flour (for the batter) and the icing sugar (for the icing) so you don't get any lumps
Tip 3: for a fluffy buttercream icing beat the mixture for at least 3 minutes
*Preparing the ingredients*
*I use Tahitian vanilla pods*
*The most common recipe of cupcakes starts by creaming the butter and the sugar together. Hummingbird mixes all the dry ingredients first and than incorporates the eggs and milk*
*Sifting the icing sugar to make the buttercream icing*
*Finger-lickin good buttercream icing :p *
*I like to put the icing with a spatula instead of using a piping bag*
*Sprinkle some edible glitter for a touch of sparkle :)*
