Basic Eggless Cupcake (Using Curd)

Yesterday, I was in a mood to bake basic eggless vanilla cupcake  using curd. Very few ingredients are required for this, the main players being curd/ yogurt and oil. 

Preparation: 10 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Serving: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup thick curd/yogurt
• 1 cup powder sugar 
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup refined oil
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• a pinch of salt

To BAKE:

• Cupcake tray
• Cupcake liner
• Scoop (optional)

INSTRUCTION:

1.  Preheat oven to 180°C for 10 minutes. 
2. Take a mixing bowl and blend sugar and curd until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add baking powder and baking soda and combine. Leave aside for 3 minutes. You will find that bubbles appear.
3. Add vegetable oil and vanilla essence and mix well. Now, slowly add flour/maida (about a tbsp) at a time and fold into the wet ingredients.
4. Place the cupcake liners in the tray.
5. Using the scoop or spoon distribute the batter evenly into the liners. Fill up-to three quarters of the muffin liners. Tap the tray to spread the batter evenly and remove the air bubbles.
6. Bake at 180°C for 23-25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Remove from the oven. Remove the cupcakes from tray and let it cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!!.
