    Extra Easy Cupcakes

    I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I’d be bringing you some new basic favorites and I started with a Banana Chocolate Loaf cake. Today, we are talking about these Extra Easy  cupcakes and I’m pumped! One of the things that I’m always messing with is vanilla cake or simple cupcakes. It’s the never ending quest for all the best versions.There are so many ways to vary a Simple cupcake and I want the best of all of them! I’m greedy like that. Plus, I know not every has the same idea of the perfect cupcake, so I like to have options.

    Extra Easy Cupcakes recipe
    Extra Easy Cupcakes

    So let’s talk a bit about these Extra Easy cupcakes. These cupcakes use butter and are lighter and super moist. We’ve got the usual suspects in this cupcake, starting with the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Easy, common ingredients that you should totally have in your pantry already. Mix ’em all together and set ’em aside.

    Next are the wet ingredients:butter, sugar, milk, vanilla extract and eggs. The butter is the fat component instead of vegetable oil and in my opinion, tends to make a more moist cake that stays moist for longer. Totally true for these cupcakes. The milk  adds to the structure of the cake, in addition to adding moisture. Milk adds fluff and I love some fluff.

    I used a teaspoon of vanilla extract to make sure there’s plenty of delicious vanilla flavor. Then the eggs add more moisture, structure and flavor. I switched it up in these and went with whole eggs instead of egg whites. No more egg yolks getting wasted here!

    Once the wet and dry ingredients are combined, the milk is added.

    [/tab][tab]

    1. Do not over gril or brown the kabab.
    2. Another way to make chicken seekh kabab is that put the mixture around the satay stick and then place them on a hot tawa or griddle, drizzle oil or butter and cook evenly all around until browned.
    3. If you are making this kabab on the tawa then you need to baste them with butter or oil at regular intervals.
    4. These delicious, juicy kebabs can be made with any minced meat you like, but I like chicken best Minced chicken is easily available in the market, but in case you do not get it then simply buy the boneless chicken, cut into small pieces and chop little bit in the chopper. Your minced chicken will be ready.
