KBB Challenge #13: 2nd Anniversary Celebration: Simple White Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting


By Mindy's Deli (Visit website)



Simple White Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting



I read KBB's homework while I was backpacking in Colombia. This time we're celebrating KBB' second anniversary and there are two contest to be taking part in. The first one is (cup)cake or muffin decorating contest and the other one is photo contest. Some baking and cooking ideas had popped up into my mind since then. It was so funny how I found my mind sometime jumped from one idea to another ideas when we were in a café having a cup of coffee while I was writing my travel diary or reading a book or even while during our trekking or sitting in a bus. I think it just because I don't want to miss participating, even though I know that I won't win. But hey, taking part counts the most, doesn't it?



Colombia was GREAT! The country, the people, the infrastructure, the public transports..all just super and the important thing was that we felt so safer there than in Venezuela. So people, I tell you, whether you are a fan of Latin America or not, never skip Colombia from your travel list. I'll write about Colombia on my next posting.



Simple White Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting



Back in Caracas on Tuesday at 11am after a 12 hours bus drive from San Cristobal to Caracas and some hours before to reach Cucutá, a border city between Colombia and Venezuela, I still didn't know what to make. And I'd decided to make simple white cupcakes and made a trier, I can't make a nice swirl, then frosted them with cream cheese frosting. Since I don't want to use food coloring, so I just decorated the cupcakes with organic dried cranberries and fresh Ixora from our balcony. Happy Birthday, KBB! All the best!



Simple White Cupcakes

Ingredients:

3/4 cup self-raising-flour

1/2 cup white sugar (I used less than 1/2 cup)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F (170C). Grease a cake pan and flour or line a muffin pan with paper cups

In a medium bowl cream the white sugar and the unsalted butter. Beat in egg then add the vanilla. Add the flour to the creamed mixture, stir well. Stir in milk until the batter is smooth. Pour or spoon the batter into the prepared pan

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or for cake then 30 to 40 minutes. It's done when it springs back to the touch

When you use all purpose flour, add baking powder (3/4 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder)
