Here are some of the cupcakes I made the other weekend when it was raining. Posing on my vintage and antique thrift plates of course!
Cupcakes are about the only thing I can cook which are guaranteed, every time, to always turn out right. Yes I know ladies, sad but true! And do you know why?
Because of my Dad's recipe!
So all you need to do to make cupcakes or any classic sponge cake according to Dad is this:
1. Weigh your eggs (in their shell)
2. Weigh your flour, caster sugar, butter each to the same weight as your eggs!
3. Then just do the usual.............. and hey presto, cupcakes in 25 minutes!
If you haven't worked it out yet this recipe came from my Dad because it's super easy and you'll never forget it! Just what a man (AND me) needs when having a little 'kitchen time'!
Wishing you all a beautiful weekend full of sunshine, happiness, love and if you're lucky, cupcakes!

Someone was telling me the other day that it's so important to weigh the eggs, and now you say so too so I'm agog to give it a go.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Look at these amazingly beautiful cupcakes! Sigh. Even the paper holders are precious! A cupcake tastes so much better when it lies within pretty paper. And then if you place them on breathtakingly gorgeous vintage plates, there is just no resisting the temptation. I really love your pictures and I think it's precious that you included the recipe from your Dad. Thanks so much for showing us your Friday Pretties. Hope you have a very special week. Hugs ....

They look yummy and pretty, I wish I could bake, it's been a while since my last attempt, apparently the secret is for me not to open the oven door every few minutes to see how my cake is doing, has resulted in a lot of frisbees...
ReplyDeleteOMG your cupcakes are gorgeous and your photography is amazing!
