MOIST EGGLESS VANILLA CUPCAKES

Eggless Vanilla Cupcakes
I don't usually care for the amount of eggs in a recipe I am about to try because I love eggs,especially hardboiled eggs.When I say hardboiled,it should be perfectly hardboiled.No rubber like yolks for me,please!Okay,now lets get back to the topic. Well,Kannur is not a place where you can get wonderful ingredients for baking.I know it,so Amma and myself stock up really well. But on how on earth will we know that there will be shortage of eggs,especially in a place where there are atleast 3 bakeries on a street!

Well,it happened.Kannur town was out of eggs,for almost a week and that was too long for me to wait,without baking a cake of some sort. Our house is swamped with guests these days,to see our Ian vaava. So we need something,and when I say something,it has to be homemade because Amma & I cannot think of serving  anything storebought to our guests.

The hunt for something eggless started.I found way too many recipes online but only a few grabbed my attention. When I chose this recipe,it reminded me that I had tried out the same a few years ago and found the cake to be very oily.I thought of giving it a second chance and it worked just fine.

I had some buttercream with me,from the movie star's cake,so tinted it pink and used it to decorate the perfect cupcake tops.I usually don't go for such lavish decor on my baked goods for our daily consumption but since it's for the lovely folks who are visiting us,I didn't think twice.

Ritchie loved the frosting and mentioned that he likes cupcakes with eggs better.I found these to be really moist and perfect for eggless days!

love the pics ria...my french yoghurt cake follows almost the same recipe except for the addition of eggs. Im really glad it can make awesome cakes without eggs as well. is the lack of eggs due to some chicken-based virus. My mum was saying they havent had chicken in like forever cos its banned in triv apparently.

Gorgeous is the word :) i love the rose icing makes it look pretty... i love this yogurt cake and to pair it with an icing makes it a good blend.

Lena Jayadev said...

woww..those buttercream roses are stunning Ria..cupcake looks really soft and moist.

Ria, i have few queries. i asked to so many bloggers and didn get a proper answer.
1. whenever i make muffins , after few hours the topside becomes sticky. i use normal granulated sugar and butter in the quantity 115g sugar, flour, butter + 2 eggs and bake for 12 minutes. hw can i avoid the sticky top?

2. when i use decorative paper cases, after baking the design doesn look attractive. it fades out the color outside to a slightly burned design. i bake in 150degrees instead of 180 as my OTG is really hot. hw can i avoid these Ria..?

Ria Mathew said...

Kavi, thank you!

Lena,it's been a long time! Hope all is well with you.

1.I know what you are talking about. I've noticed it only in recipes which calls for oil instead of butter.So cannot really think of any reason as to why that could happen! Is it humid,where you live?

2. Choose better cupcake liners, Lena. The ones we find here are of poor quality.They kind of absorb the fat and become greasy and dull.

Hope this helps!

Hi Ria, Lovely. I was looking for a eggless cupcake and yours came in so handy. Tried them. tasted good but didn't come out moist. It was hard after a day. Where did I go wrong, am very new to baking so cant really guess.
