Marbled Milk Cupcakes

I'm looking forward to dinner with friends tomorrow evening.

And why? Cos I just found a good excuse reason to bake :)  And, of course, because I'll have lovely company to share dinner with tomorrow.

Here's how the Marbled Milk Cupcakes were made:

140g cake flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

3 eggs

1/4 tsp cream of tartar (optional)

1 tsp vanilla extract

120g sugar (up to 150g if you like it sweet)

50g butter

120ml milk

Optional for marbling:
2 tbs chocolate chips
2 tbs of milk

Step 1:
Sift flour, baking powder and salt two times.
Set aside.

Step 2:
Whisk eggs and cream of tartar till light and fluffy.







Step 3:
Gradually add vanilla extract and sugar and continue beating till batter is glossy.

Step 4:
Combine butter and milk, and heat till just before it boils.







Step 5:
With a balloon whisk, gently fold in flour, alternating with milk mixture.

Step 6:
For marbled cupcakes, melt choc chips with milk and blend well. Scoop out half the batter and combine with choc mixture.







Step 7:
Fill paper cups, alternating spoonfuls of each batter. Then run the end of a chopstick through the batter to create swirls.

Step 8:
Bake at 170 degC for 18-20 min or until done.



This recipe can be used as a sponge cake recipe too. Just bake for about 5 or more minutes till done.
