Eggless Cupcakes
For Children’s Day, I prepared few kiddie treats for my son, Nehal and his friend. Here goes the menu – Grilled Vegetable Cheese Sandwich, Chicken Cutlets, Eggless cupcakes (baked for colony kids on the occasion of Diwali) and Strawberry milkshake. They enjoyed the treats while watching a movie and am one satisfied mom. Simple pleasures of life. 🙂
I have quite a few requests from readers asking for ‘vegetarian baking recipes’ and ‘eggless cakes’. I thought I’d start a series on Eggless baking. Today, eggless cupcakes recipe is a never fail, tried and tested one and a dream come true for anyone who loves eggless cake. Super moist cupcakes that also have a light and fluffy texture and not to mention, very flavorful. You will love the frosting as well. Vanilla cupcake and chocolate frosting is a flavor combination that is incredibly addicting! I used a simple chocolate ganache to frost the cupcakes and the kids in my neighborhood gobbled them up in seconds. 🙂
