Always A Treat

Many a times the mouth yearns for a different taste, we crave for a new flavor, exquisite and creamy. A quick thing to munch on.

I had such cravings so I made a Pound cupcake. Usually I don't work with lemon juice or orange vests, but I needed the change. Funny enough I might stick to this taste for a while, I love the lingering effects I felt in my mouth.

My all time ingredients

• All purpose flour
• Two eggs
• Margarine 50g
• Sugar
• Baking powder
• Vanilla essence
• Preservative
• Lemon juice

In an attempt not to overheat the oven before I start baking, I preheat it at 110°C for 10 minutes.

• Coat the cupcake pan with margarine and flour (so it won't become sticky when removing from pan) and set aside.

• Shift flour, baking powder, vanilla essence, preservative in a bowl.

• In another bowl, mix the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. (I was experimenting so I didn't mix more than 5 minutes).
  

• Add the eggs gradually while adding the lemon juice, a teaspoon is fine, mix until combined and scraping the sides as needed, I love it when it's all blended in.
  

• Add in the flour slowly and ensure everything is combined evenly.

• Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes(as desired).
  Over the months I don't insert a knife to check when a cake is done, I have studied the time frame needed.
  

Allow the cake to cool in the pan and release on a plate. It's nice and ready. Enjoy with any chilled juice or smoothie.

It's another day to celebrate victory and be grateful for life.
