About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

Hey Sunanda…you hit the nail on the head with the ‘cake-athon’!! Thanks!
Thanks Nags,Got them from the US . They’re called muffin trays. They come in 2 sizes; for 6 & 12. You can also find mini-muffin & jumbo muffin trays there. Haven’t seen them here in Delhi.
Hi Purnima…thanks for all the compliments:0).The curious little stars etc are hanging tree ornaments in zardozi that I picked up for our tree a couple of years ago in Delhi. Really pretty aren’t they?

Deeba,yes indeed!The hangings in zardosi are way tooooo pretty and guess what..the craving for having cupcakes reached its height when I read this post in morning, I baked your perfect measure (18 regular muffins no more, no less)vanilla c.c tks to you and the lady whose recipe you baked frm! There are only 4 cups left with my both kids absolutely loving them, unexpected guests too thankfully visiting and getting a treat! Thanks a zillion Deeba! Have a great weekend(BTW your post on Ghost Do Pyaaza is too drool worthy!!!)

Deeba, of my limited baking experience n skill, this was one cake which I baked while in Mumbai, my sil, mil and all other family members went ‘superbbbbb’ on it, cake vanished in matter of minutes! But trust me, getting my hands on unsalted butter was one big ordeal, had to get my sil buy fresh one frm Pune!! Tks so much for sharing this cake – mine seems to b borrowed glory (recipe-urs, glory – to me 😉 ) Wd u mind sharing which butter u use for ur baked goodies?
Purnima
Deeba, truly have lost count as to the no. of times I baked this glorious cake! I am baking one part as I type this note of thanks to you..also as u keep experimenting, last time I baked these (17th to celebrate my dad n bro’s bday’s -same day born!!) I happened to keep them after 10 mins of cooling in a close lid container..4 were out due to space limit of container. The difference was..ones those were out were dry on the outer side, but the container ones were moist n fluffy!! Now thru trial n error..the path to moist cakes is wt me! 😀 *can’t preci this!*

Those cupcakes surely look delicious. The decoration is wonderful. And vanilla is my favourite flavour in icecream. So I'm going to love this. Thanks for the recipe.
