Jump to Recipe

Cupcakes are one of the popular dessert enjoyed by all ages. There are so many different flavours of cupcakes. But, the basic vanilla cupcake has always been my favourite. It is a simple and easy-to-make recipe perfect as a snack or to be served for any occasions like birthdays or parties.

Eggless vanilla cupcakes doesn’t contain any eggs, which makes it suitable for vegetarians. It has a moist and fluffy texture with a rich vanilla flavour. Even though, it is eggless, it has a similar taste and texture like a regular vanilla cupcake.

ABOUT THE RECIPE:

I’ve tried many eggless cupcake recipes and this is probably one of the easiest and my favorite. Sometimes, I do use another recipe which involves butter and condensed milk. But, this recipe is quite simple compared to the other recipe. This recipe can be made with the very basic ingredients available in our home, without compromising the taste and the texture.

This recipe makes around 12 medium size cupcakes. Also, I’ve used vanilla buttercream frosting for this recipe.

*I’ve used ready-to-bake cupcake liners. If you use regular cupcake liners, align them on a cupcake tray and then pour the batter.

PRO TIPS:

  • Any neutral oil can be used.
  • Mix it really well until the sugar is dissolved completely.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour. Mix it gently using the spatula or whisk.
  • Do not fill the batter to the top of the liners. Either fill it half or 3/4th.
  • If you use regular cupcake liners, line them on the muffin tray and then pour the batter to it.
  • Bake it for 20 minutes, check it once and then bake it with an interval of 5 minutes. This might prevent overbaking of the muffins.
  • Do not add the frosting while the muffins are still warm. It has to cool down completely before adding the frosting.
