...so we also hear from you?

Me? :dowan:

Not good in this leh. Just following recipes and make simple ones. Haven't experimented with anything different yet. Must experiment first before I post something, ok?

Can...but this thread is not about good, it is about experiences. I am no baker, I use pre-mix but even premix if I have never tried, I am not sure if it is good and worth trying. If we share here then no need to do all the experiments ourselves....can tap on each other's experiences and save us some trials, GWIM?

OK, but when I saw those pics of wonderful breads and the :drool: cake posted by Funz, I feel :oops: to put up something here. Me just a novice and learning from more seasoned bakers here.

Means to put the pan of batter into another shallow pan 1/2 or 3/4 filled with water. This keeps the cake moist.

Hi ksi,

Thanks for starting this thread !

I got a super easy recipe for cupcakes :
Butter 150g
Caster Sugar 150g
Self Raising Flour 180g
3 eggs
50 ml milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract.

Cream butter and sugar together till light and fluffy before beating in eggs, one at a time. Fold in half the sifted flour, add milk and vanilla and then fold in the remaining flour. Put into the oven (150 degree Celsius) bake until golden brown.

I don't bake these cupcakes, my kids do all the work

Recently we tried to make blueberries cupcakes. I bought a box of fresh blueberries from NTUC, and cut each blueberry into half. We used the exact same recipe above, and mix in the blueberries just before we put into the oven.

The results are heavenly blueberries cupcakes ! The blueberries melted in the cupcakes and became just like freshly made jam.

Note that the type of butter used is very important, I used President unsalted butter and it smells wonderful.
