Vanilla Cupcakes Recipe

.

It seems that nowadays cupcakes are the next big thing, but I find that the ones from many bakeries are too sweet... The icing is packed full of powdered sugar, not to mention that the actual cake itself is loaded with a ton of butter and sugar, as if it wasn't sweet enough. Many cupcakes now come in endless varieties of flavors which then has a load of artificial flavor and coloring added- yuck!
I have come up with a recipe, that is much healthier and delicious, as I have cut down on the butter and sugar, and I also find that it has a softer texture than most cupcake recipes out there! I hope you enjoy me recipe!

Vanilla Cupcake Recipe                                                                                         Recipe by iSaamuel

INGREDIENTS;
2 Eggs,
1/2 Cup of Sugar,
1 Tbsp of Pure Vanilla Extract,
2 Tbsps of Melted Butter,
1/2 Cup of Fresh Milk,
1/2 Cup of Cake Flour.

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Eggs and the Sugar until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes thick and creamy. This step takes about 5-10 minutes to reach its maximum volume and texture!
2. Gradually sift in your Cake Flour and whisk gently to incorporate everything. Do not overmix otherwise you'll have tough bread-like cupcakes!
3. In another bowl, whisk Melted Butter along with Milk and Vanilla Extract and pour this mixture into your cake batter.
4. Stir gently until everything's combined but don't mix for too long as the cake batter will develop gluten! The cake batter should be at a nice and creamy consistency!
5. Line your Cupcake Pan with Cupcake liners and scoop the batter with an Ice-Cream scoop or with two spoons, and divide the mixture equally between the liners.
6. Bake at 180c for about 15-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of a cupcake.

Enjoy and serve with your favorite icing or a dollop of whipped cream! :)

Sweet Crêpes!

  
INGREDIENTS;                                                                                                       Recipe by iSaamuel
1 Egg,
1/2 Cup of Milk,
1/2 Cup of Plain Flour,
2 Tbsps of Sugar,
2 Tbsps of Butter (Melted),
1 Tsp of Vanilla Extract (Optional.) 

Make the Crêpes savory, by omitting the sugar and adding a 1/2 tsp of Salt to the batter! Serve with Grated Parmesan Cheese and Ham, sprinkled on with freshly ground black pepper to make the best breakfast ever! ^___^

1- In a large bowl, whisk together the Melted Butter, Egg, Vanilla Extract and Sugar together until everything's well combined.
2- Add the Flour in a few additions while whisking vigorously to prevent a lumpy batter.
3- Heat the pan on medium-low heat and use a ladle to scoop the batter on to the pan.
4- Swirl the pan until the batter is distributed evenly and is in a circle. Once the crepe is filled with air, it is ready to flip. When the crepe is flipped, place it on a plate to let cool down.
5- Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 until there is no crepe batter remaining and all the crepes have been cooked.
6. When all the crepes have cooled down, decorate them with some whipped cream and fresh fruits- yum! Be creative and sprinkle them with Powdered Sugar for an elegant look and a hint of sweetness.

This is when the Crêpe is ready flip!

Now that you have the best crêpe recipe, go ahead and make it to impress your family and friends now! You could also drizzle on some Chocolate Sauce/Syrup or spread each crêpe with Nutella... yum! (: Like this recipe? Please share to your friends and family!
