Hello everyone! I know I have been away for quite sometime but last two weeks have created quite a stir! First of all there is this never ending assignments and work in office, on top of this monsoon has finally hit India. Last couple of days have been a complete mess. It rained quite heavily here in Pune, with strong winds blowing there was quite lot of destruction. Several trees have fallen, cables wires have been uprooted, infact we almost had an accident in our office with the glass doors bursting due to strong winds! Thank god no one was hurt! With electricity gone for 2 days and maid not turning up for work I was really frustated!
So when V asked me if i could bake a batch of muffins for her office party I got the much needed break! She wanted something other than the usual chocolate and vanilla flavors. I had strawberry extract in my pantry, so thought of making some Strawberry cupcakes with vanilla buttercream icing. She loved the idea and she wanted to use the same color combination which I had used for the cake which I made for my parents anniversary.
This is off to Bangalore Baker's Bake-Off event!
Eggless Strawberry Cupcakes/Muffins
Recipe yields - 9 muffins
Ingredients:-
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 tin (200 gms) sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp strawberry essence
1/4 cup limca or plain aerated soda water
Procedure:-
- Preheat the oven to 180 degress C, grease and flour 9 muffin moulds.
- Sieve flour, baking powder and baking soda together.
- Beat butter, condensed milk and icing sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the strawberry essence.
- Alternatively add flour and limca and beat well after each addition.
- Fill in the muffin cups to 3/4 full and bake the muffins for 15 to 18 mins until tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool them completely before going ahead with icing.
Verdict? I got great reviews on these cupcakes and everyone in the office loved them! As compared to other eggless recipe, i like this one the most as I have always got fantastic results! Muffins were light and fluffy, perfectly baked! With vanilla buttercream icing it was a winner! Do try these and let me know, you can replace strawberry essence with any other flavor and it will still work like a charm!

your cupcakes have risen so well that it is hard to believe that they are eggless! Love the blue colour of the frosting.
As regards your Q on fondant icing, I never make fondant at home, however there is this recipe I've been eyeing for a while now, never got round to making it though so can't vouch for it. However, it seems hugely popular - Just check it out, it is on www.thecookduke.com
Hope this helps!
These sound wonderful and look beautiful. Glad to hear you and your family are safe after the storm.
