Vanilla Cupcakes

Suddenly felt inspired while watching MasterChef on TV. They made it looked so simple ... Some of the contestants don't even know how to bake (ah hah ... since they can do it ... i can do it too right??!! ...WRONG!!!!) I'm so excited ... and I decided to try my luck ... Did not turn out too good ... it turned out bad actually ... messy over flowing to the sides and due to that ... my cuppies all have holes in the center.
I feel lousy and sucky.


I took this recipe from allrecipes.


Ingredients

  • 125 g butter, softened
  • 125 g superfine sugar
  • 155 g self-rising flour (i used 111g flour, 4g baking powder)
  • 2-1/2 eggs
  • 4 ml vanilla extract
  • *i put toblerone

Directions

This recipe's Ingredients were scaled to yield a new amount. The directions below still refer to the original recipe yield of 1 dozen cupcakes.
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin pan or line with paper baking cups.
  2. In a large bowl, mix butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each one. Stir in the vanilla and flour just until mixed. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly. I put toblerone inside the better
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter.
