Trying Out The Ultimate Vanilla Cupcake Recipe by The Cupcake Project

The Ultimate Vanilla bee-stung-lips-smiley Cupcakes
There is a cupcake fever at home! Mum has been baking cupcakes for two days straight now, albeit in small quantities. On Monday, she baked her delicious carrot walnut cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. She wanted me to try her cupcake and compared it with my (failed) choco coffee cupcakes. Well, the point she was making is that my cupcakes were dry and brittle as compared to her light and fluffy cakes. She thinks it is due to the way I beat the butter and sugar or that I did not beat them long enough. I still think it was because I did not take out the cupcakes from the pan to let them cool. Sorry no pictures of the carrot walnut cupcake because it is already in my stomach (or maybe out already).

Then on Tuesday night when I came home from work, Mum presented me with her blueberry cupcake in cute orange polka dot baking cups. You see, normally when Mum bakes for the household, she will use just any type of cupcake liners since she focuses more on the taste of the cake. I was pleasantly surprised with the effort she made in the presentation of the cupcake yesterday. I tasted some of the cake and as expected it was light, fluffy and delicious!
