My First Cupcake Ever: Strawberry Cream Cheese Cupcake

With many attempts, I finally got the recipe right!
Thanks to my friend Afni and YanKayKay's recipe but I modify alittle =>

The Ingredients
Omit out the Digestives Biscuits. Initially I tried to make the digestives crumbs and it turns out crazy oily. 































The Batter
  • 2 Eggs
  • Cooking Oil Sprayer
  • 1.5 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tsp Baking Soda Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Cup of Confectioner Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup of EQUAL Sugar
    (Recipe says 1 Cup of Confectioner Sugar but I replace it with EQUAL Sugar. Healthier this way.) 
  • 1 Scoop of Sour Cream Cheese
  • 1 Tsp of Vanilla Essence 
    (I couldn't find the vanilla extract from supermarts except the essence.)
  • 2 Cups of Diced Strawberries 

Frosting
  • 250g of PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese. 
    (That is the whole packet of it)
  • 1/3 Stick of Unsalted Butter. 
    (The best butter so far I've tried is the SCS Pure Creamery Butter. The rest selling at the supermarts are crazy oily & not suitable for baking!)
  • 1 Cup of Sugar. 
    (Again, I replaced it with EQUAL sugar.)
  • 1 Tsp of Vanilla Essence 
  • Food Coloring Dye.
    (Optional if you want your frosting to look pretty lol)

Preheat the oven to 180 Degree Celsius for around 10 - 15 mins depending how long your baking oven heats up. Mix the All Purpose Flour, Salt, Sugar first, then add it Vanilla Essence, Sour Cream Cheese, Strawberries and mix again. Now add in the eggs ( 1 at a time), mix, add in the 2nd egg, mix and carefully do not over beat it! Your cupcakes will not puff up =( 

Spray the cooking oil onto the paper cups. Fill the paper cups to 3/4 full and let it bake for 25 mins and your entire kitchen smells mad good! 

So the 1st try, I "GEY KIANG" (act clever) go and 1/2 cup of milk because I thought it was dry and didn't realize strawberries also got water itself. And my 1st batch turns out like this... 

TOTALLY FLAT! XXXXXXX






























The 2nd Batch... 
Now it smells & taste so much better! URESHIIIII~~~





































Frosting TIME! 
SUPER EASY LA THIS STEP! =DD Beat the Cream Cheese, Butter, Sugar and Vanilla Essence together. Then add in the desire food color dye you want. I separate into 2 and mix with BLUE & PINK and them them chill for 1hr. 

And decorate them! I added half slice of strawberries and topped it with colorful hearts! 






























NOW ALL OF U GO GET BAKING! x
