INGREDIENTS:

Powdered sugar - 125g ~10 tbsp
Unsalted butter (room temperature) - 125 g~ 1/2 cup
Egg (room temperature) - 2 (large)
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Baking powder - 1 1/2  tsp
Baking soda -  1/4 tsp
Salt - 1/8 tsp
Milk - 2tbsp
Cupcake liners (medium) - 8

METHOD:

1. Preheat oven at 170 degree celcius.

2. Add butter and eggs into a medium size mixing bowl. Beat it with wired whisk or an electric beater until the mixture become light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.

3. Add sugar and beat it. Add vanilla essence and milk . Whisk until all ingredients  are well combined.

4. Sift and add all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt . Whisk until all ingredients are well combined.







5. Take a cupcake mold or muffin tray . Insert cupcake liners




6. Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them a little over half way full.

7. Bake in separate batches at 170 degree celcius for 20-22 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean.

8.Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Remove all of the cupcakes from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

NOTES:

1. All ingredients should be in room temperature . If you are keeping eggs and butter in refrigerator then keep it outside for few hours to reach room temperature before baking.

2. You can either mix dry and wet ingredients separately or through them into a bowl together and mix it .

3. Check baking powder and baking soda if you are not using it frequently .

4. To test baking soda, Pour a few tablespoons of white distilled vinegar into a small bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda -- if it's fresh, the mixture should fizz and bubble furiously. 

5. Pour a few tablespoons of warm water into a small bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder to the warm water -- the mixture should fizz moderately if the powder is fresh.
