Words are sweet but they can never replace food.

Arkensen’s birthday coincidentally fell on spring break. He invited a few friends over to celebrate his birthday with him. So, instead of buying a cake from the bakery as we normally do in the past, I baked him some cupcakes instead. Cupcakes go very well with kids celebration like birthday parties or classroom celebrations. Because they are baked in a paper cup container, they do not require plates or utensils for serving — no dishes to wash!
BTW, do you know that cupcake is also known as fairy cake?
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup canola or corn oil
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
I wish I had one right about now. I’m craving something sweet!
Hi Suanne – I’m thinking to make either cake or muffins this weekend. By looking at this post, I would like to know how to avoid muffins being stuck with the paper when it’s done? It happened to me all the time! 🙁
Hi Windy, I normally spray my muffin tins with non-sticking spray like Pam. As for paper liners, I find that if you leave the cupcakes cool completely, then it’s easier to remove them from the paper liners.
