Cupcake Recipes, Tips & Ideas

[KatieRabbit]

That is a great recipe- I have made them a number of times. Did you get the recipe from the Crabapple Bakery Cookbook? I don't love all the recipes in there but this Vanilla one is easily the best vanilla cupcake recipe that I have made. I halve the icing and palette it on rather than swirling it on as the 8 cups allows you to do. I might just make these tomorrow- thanks for reminding me!

dummo here sneaks in to ask if i can use s/r flour
i have no plain yep as most of you would know im hopeless at cooking and would not know the difference in flours lol. hehehe just relized i dont have baking powder either ...some one shoot me

[LaDeeDa]

I'm not sure .... I would imagine you could as thats what baking powder does to plain flour...

Give it a go - can't hurt

Actually I have only ever used SR flour with them. I never use plain when it is used with a raising agent- that's why I buy SR flour!! So yes, it works beautifully. And the 24 that it makes are large muffin sized ones, not patty cake size from our childhood!
