Eggless Vanilla Cupcakes Recipe Party Cupcakes

In the August 1st week I celebrated my birthday with this eggless vanilla cupcakes. I personally feel yogurt is a best ingredient for eggless baking, also something healthier and you can reduce or dash egg and butter wherever the recipe calls. You can check more egg less butter less versions recipes here. These cupcakes were then decorated with blue buttercream icing so wished by my daughter. I couldn’t find time to

click more pictures and I used both silicone cupcake moulds (reusable) and paper cups for this single recipe.

Eggless Vanilla Cupcakes Preparation

Mix all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
In another mixing bowl, beat the room temperature butter and sugar until it looks creamy (Pic 1).
Now add yogurt and vanilla essence mix well (Pic 2).
Once yogurt well combined add the flour mixture in batches (Pic 3).
Finally add lemon juice/vinegar and blend well.
Drop in cupcake baking cups to 2/3 of the cup (Pic 4) and bake at 350° F for 12-15 minutes or till cake tester/toothpick inserted at center comes out clean.
Cool completely before decorating it (Pic 5).

Make icing/frosting over cupcakes of your choice.
It’s my daughter wish to have blue color on top so i made blue butter cream to decorate and I have not used any special tooltip just a plain round large tip worked well.
