How many cup cakes does this make?
YUMYUMYUMYUMYUM
this needs a warning though
CAUTION keep out of reach of pregnant woman.
Im not even sure how many i ate :redface:
24 Hun...:
Lauren22 - I am sooooooo stoked you enjoyed em :)
:hide:dummo here sneaks in to ask if i can use s/r flour
i have no plain :rolleyes: 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
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!
:clap: oh very good thank you for that info ill give them a go today
;) YUM YUM YUM YUM
AWW THESE ARE TO ADDICTIVE LOL.
i was up at 3am this morning eating 2 of theses :rofl:
Hehehehe so happy you enjoyed them :)
Does the ingredients in the first post make two 20cm cakes? Or do you have to do a double batch?:
I was thinking of halving the cake mix batch and icing it on top? So I would halve the recipe you gave to make one 20cm cake right?
:lol: am I making any sense?
yep your right on track the mix makes 2 x 20cm cakes :)
So halving it will work in theory
Will it make much of a difference if i use salted butter, as I haven't any blocks of the unsalted?
tia
I have used both and haven't noticed much of a diff
ok, thanks :)
I have to make about 4 dozen for my dd's class tomorrow - they're doing an RSPCA cupcake fundraiser. (by the sounds of it I might have to make extra to keep at home - i can't wait to taste them!)
How Cool!
I hope they are a hit!
Ok I'm going to make these too. I bought a vanilla cupcake from The Cupcake Bakery in at Melbourne Central last weekend and I wasn't that impressed actually. Too dry and flavourless. I'm a vanilla snob though... they probably used imitation vanilla essence to increase the profit margin... I'll be using the real thing ;)
You really need the real thing BUT....if you only have imitation you use half as much again :)
If you like these ones I posted a recipe for Chocolate Flourless ones.....they are so fudgy and yum :)
Bath I'll have to make you some vanilla cupcakes that will make your toes curl ;) And Vanilla Buttercream that just melts in your mouth... ;) The cupcake bakeries in the city suck bigtime... biggest waste of money I've ever spent on food in my life. Blerk! We ended up having a cup-cake-off at my house and I won HAH!
Oooooh sounds delish Cai! :dance: And yes! Probably WAS the biggest waste of $3.50 (for 1 cupcake) that I have ever spent in the city too! And they weren't even that creative with the icing. Sure the cupcakes looked pretty all laid out but there was no follow through. Hmmm... what goes nicely with cupcakes other than coffee? Is there such thing as a vanilla liqueur? If so i'll bring a bottle for your efforts!
LaDeeda: I might even price this recipe... work out what it costs per cupcake.... any idea? (I get a kick out this kinda thing LOL)
I made these the other night and I think I might have stuffed them up. I forgot the milk. Then as I was mixing my "dough" I thought "MILK", so I added it, but it kinda look all curdled. They tasted nice, just the final texture seemed wrong after they were baked. :doh:
Bath I spend extra on decorations for mine but just with ingredients and cupcake papers about 30c or something ridiculous like that.
I find I normally get about 30 out of a batch....
I have made them numerous times as I mentioned previously but made them on Sat and they went flat on the top, whereas they usually rise really well for me with a real 'hill'. Was a bit disappointed as I followed the recipe as I always do but they were still great. I made a butter cream and added lemon juice which made it like a cream cheese icing.
I always use salted butter in baking and can't tell the diff.
Bath- have you ever made your own vanilla essence with vodka and vanilla bean?
I get 24 cupcakes from my mix but I use the large muffin size papers.
Katie: Oooh no I haven't but I will be now that you've suggested it! Sounds interesting! :D
With salted butter... recently I have stopped using it with sweet baking. Once I did notice the saltiness and ever since I have kinda been sensitive to it.
Definitely use unsalted butter. And if you want really GOOD cupcakes go the foil lined ones as they do make a difference in how they cook. And if you want a REAL kick, get the vanilla bean paste and use that instead of vanilla essence its AMAZING... And another tip is a bit of lemon zest added to the butter stage (when you're creaming with the sugar) there is something about a hint of lemon that freshens the cupcake batter (yes you can still add the vanilla bean paste) and just really makes it yummy!
WHY AM I GIVING ALL MY SECRETS AWAY!?!
My buttercream icing I might just hold onto for a little bit longer but let me tell you its light and fluffy and not at all grainy...
MMMMMMMMMMMM....yummy....:
dee have you started your cupcake baking business yet?
Oh My God! It's 6:30am in Perth and I've done nothing but read this thread, google where I can buy the cookbook from and try to re-arrange my entire day to fit in going to the shops to hunt for the book, buying ingredients and making cupcakes!!!!! :rofl:
You girls are making me drool!!!!!
I would love to hun but getting a certified kitchen is next to impossible so it's a no go unfortunately. :(:
I'll just stick to making them for fam and friends :)
Just another quick question....
does anyone have any ideas of some yummy cup cake recipies that i can serve for adults? i dont mean with alcohol or anything, just something a little more grown up? and not necessarily chocolate either.
TIA :)
Not quite sure I know what you are asking for - as in the topping so its not so childish? or Adult Themed like boobies ??
I guess the easiest would be to turn the cup cakes into butterfly cakes. Cut a small circle out of the top of the cup cake, fill the hole with cream, ganache etc then take the cut out section and cut that in half and replace like butterfly wings then lightly dust icing sugar over the top.
is that like what you were talking about?

What are some flavours or adult desserts you like?
What about Lemon Meringue cupcakes... vanilla & lemon cupcake, filled with lemon curd cream. Then pipe on some meringue (after the cake is cooked) the best meringue to use is pasturised meringue, where you get the egg whites and the sugar and melt over a double boiler until the crystals have dissolved (whisking lightly) and then whisk to firm peaks with an electric mixer. Once you have firm peaks pipe (you can use a zip lock bag and cut the corner) the meringue onto the filled cupcake and then if you want to you can blow torch the meringue for colour but you don't need to cook it as its already been pasturised over the double boiler!
If you want more tips on how to fill a cupcake let me know!
Hm, for some more grown -up flavours, you could try:
(Let me know if you want recipes for any of them and I will post them)
- lemon yoghurt cakes (I'm sure they are called something much yummier, but they are great- greek yoghurt in them which gives this lovely tangy but sweet flavour combined with the lemon)
- banana passionfruit muffins
- honey ginger muffins
- hazelnut liqueur mud muffins
- raspberry yoghurt crumble muffins
I'm guessing you mean something a bit more grown up than just icing & sprinkles for the adults? Though keep in mind kids will still prob want to eat them also....they always want everything but what's for them LOL.
Ahhh lots of things, butterfly cakes are always a winner. Mudcake cupcakes, or caramel cupcakes yuuuummm. ooooh I have a recipe for toffee apple cupcakes.
LOL NaeNae, first thing I thought of was boobies! I once iced to cupcakes in a nice light pink & topped each with a raspberrie lollie in the middle & put together for DH birthday...very cute boobies.
Try chilli chocolate muffins.
Seriously, chilli chocolate is to die for, and it's all for the adults...
You can probably google it for a recipe, but if you have trouble let me know cause I have one lying around somewhere.
G?teau au Yaourt is one of my faves. Whilst they are not technically a cupcake still very yummy! Apple and Maple G?teau au Yaourt is probably my fave! In normally do them in friand moulds and dust with icing sugar!:
Any flavour combination can be turned into a cupcake...
For example (I should have mentioned this before but I'm always clingy to a new recipe I've mastered/designed myself ;)) Today I'm making a very yummy batch of cupcakes with a recipe I've concocted myself specifically for the kids godparents who have recently become obsessed with poached pears in red wine & nutella calzones from their local. So I'm making lemon vanilla cupcakes with poached pear in red wine swirl and nutella cream cheese icing...
So if you have a favourite cake or dessert you can turn it into any cupcake! Play with fillings and icings.
Erin, I don't suppose there is any chance of getting your toffee apple cupcake recipe, is there please? Pretty please?
How about cappuccino cupcakes? Coffee flavoured cupcakes with a (unbaked) meringue 'froth'. I've made these, and are always asked for by a friend of mine.
my personal favourite is white chocolate mud cupcakes with whole raspberries in them....we had them for my wedding cake. A great cupcake recipe book is the crabapple cupcake bakery book..she is famous for her cupcakes at the markets here in Melbourne and recently published her recipes...book is reasonably priced too from memory....
Oooh, those cappaccino cakes sound divine!
I can post the recipe if you like...
oh DO
