Ingredients
  

  • 95 grams or 3/4 cup all purpose flour or maida
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 100 grams or 1/2 cups packed brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180 C and line your cupcake pan with liners.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Keep aside
  • Beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla
  • Beat in the dry ingredients on slow speed until just incorporated
  • Beat in the milk
  • This is how the batter will look.
  • Fill each liner 1/2 full with the batter .
  • Bake at 180 C for 20-22 minutes . A toothpick inserted will come out clean. Cool completely. Frost as desired.

Notes

  • I ve halved the recipe to make 8 cupcakes, you would probably get 16 by doubling the amounts given here.
  • By filling the cupcake liners half full, you ll get flat cupcakes (as high as liner edge), if you fill 3/4th full, you ll get slightly domed cupcakes (like in the closeup picture of the unfrosted cupcake.
  • These can be stored in a closed container in the refrigerator for unto 5 days.
