Cupcakes: Basic and Chocolate


Prep:
Proportionwise I used half a cup of sugar and half a cup of butter and one and a half cup of all purpose flour.

Mix together sugar and butter till the mixture is nice and fluffy, about 4 minutes is good.

Mix in flour, half a tbsp salt(if the butter you used is unsalted), one tbsp of baking powder.

Now keep adding this flour to the butter and sugar mixture...alternating it with milk...just enough so that the batter is of pasty consistency. Also add in Vanilla extract at this point. 

-Variation: I had some cocoa powder so I added that in some part of the batter..add in some sugar coz cocoa is very bitter.

Baking: Preheat the oven to 350 F and bake the cuppies for a perfect 25 minutes on the middle rack!

Allow the cupcakes to cook a little before you take them off.
