There was something to celebrate in our lives today and since I wanted to do something special, other thank popping open a bottle of bubbly, these cupcakes which took very lil time was the perfect end to a glorious meal.
Makes 6 large cupcakes
Granulated sugar- 1/2 cup
Eggs- 2 small
Vanilla extract- 1/4 tsp
Plain yoghurt- 1/4 cup
All purpose flour- 1/2 cup
Baking powder- 1 tsp
Salt- a pinch
Flavourless oil- 1/4 cup
Flavourless oil- 1/4 cup
In a mixing bowl whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and yoghurt till well combined and a pale yellow..approx 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
Add the oil and fold in lightly, don't have to whisk vigorously.
Arrange 6 muffin liners on to a muffin tray and pour the batter 3/4th full.
Place in a pre-heated oven (175C) and bake for 20 to 22 minutes.
Take them out and leave to cool completely on a cooling rack.
While the cake is baking, make the glaze
Icing sugar- 1/2 cup
Milk- 1 tbsp
Red food colour- a tiny drop
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and keep stirring over a water bath (boiling water) until smooth and the coats the back of your spoon.
Once the cakes have cooled down, pour the glaze over the cupcakes.
I used very little since i don't like it too sweet.

I so badly wanted to bake these cute cupcakes from the moment I saw it on FB & finally I baked it today evening. It came out so well & we both loved every bite of it. It's so easy to make & tastes great! I'll be baking this again for sure. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe :)

Nisha,
I tried this cupcake yesterday. It turned out really well and was yummy too..Thanks a lot for the recipe. Will be sharing it in the blog sometime.. I am also planning to try your condensed milk pound cake soon. Will let you know how it turned out :)
Sorry for the confusion Nisha..I had actually tried these French yoghurt cupcakes and not the other one. But I will definitely try it sometime and let u know :) Btw I shared these cupcakes with few of my friends yday and they too loved it! Thanks again for this easy recipe..
Hi Thanks for this recipe. But when i tried making this today in mocrowave oven, it got burnt in 10 minutes. I used silverfoil tray for cup cakes. Am i missing something here? Please help
Hey,
I tried this recipe yesterday and they didn't turn out like you've shown in the picture. I'm a novice baker so I could have messed up a step or two. They collapsed in the centre and weren't as airy as I expected them to be. Do you know where I could've gone wrong? Too much whisking?underbaking? I'm willing to learn from my mistakes :D
Thanks,
Hb
Hey,
Thanks for responding. I will try again sticking to exact measurements. I've used 350F temperature. I'm guessing that's the best for C temp you mentioned. I'll let you know when I try again. Oh by the way, I live in US now and I've used 2% yoghurt in my recipe.
Thanks,
Hb.
