Inaugural Baking Attempt - Cupcakes!

I kept reading blogs of other mummies who can bake and has been envying them ever since. Especially when one of my customer-converted-to-goodfriend can bake and cook extremely well, I've been itching to try doing that myself too. So, throwing my other task aside, I bought a cheapo hand-held mixer on Friday and all the ingredients, then I baked on Saturday !

Here are the results:
Chocolate Cupcakes:


Damaged ones (cracked and erupted ones due to not-so-good control of the temperature):


Not too bad lah hor? but I find the cupcake sizes a wee too big, so I went to Phoon Huat and bought smaller ones and bake again on Sunday !

Mini Vanilla Cupcakes:


Vanilla Chocolate Chip Cupcakes:


Double Chocolate Chip Cupcakes:


Here's the cupcake recipe:
150g unsalted butter - softened
150g castor sugar
175g self raising flour
3 large eggs or 4 small eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method:
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C
Crack eggs into a cup and beat lightly
Place all ingredients in a large bowl or mixing bowl
Beat for 2 minutes or until mixture is light and creamy
bake the cakes for 18 - 20 minutes --> Varies according to oven and size of cupcakes

It's super easy, if mamemo can bake, so can you !
