Step-by-Step Mini Cupcake Recipe

To make mini cupcakes, the most important item you’ll need is a mini cupcake tray. Begin by preparing the dry ingredients. In a bowl, combine one cup of flour.

For chocolate-flavored mini cupcakes, include ¼ cup plus 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder, but for vanilla-flavored ones, omit the cocoa powder. 

Next, add ¾ teaspoon of baking powder, followed by ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Then, incorporate 1 cup of sugar. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly using a whisk or wooden spoon.

Now, onto the liquid ingredients. In a separate bowl, blend 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, ½ cup of milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Ensure the liquid ingredients are well combined.

Combine the dry and liquid ingredients until a homogeneous mixture forms. Once the batter is ready, add 2 teaspoons of batter into each cup of the mini cupcake tray.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes. Once baked, transfer the mini cupcakes to a plate to cool.

Once cooled, frost the mini cupcakes with your choice of icing. Sprinkle the frosted cupcakes with sprinkles for an added touch. Enjoy your delicious mini cupcakes!

Tips for Having the Perfect Mini Cupcakes

1- Add ¼ cup of hot water to the mixture in the mixer; this helps activate the ingredients and ensures the cupcakes rise properly, resulting in a fluffy texture.

2- When adding the cupcake batter to the cups, don’t fill them all the way because they will rise in the oven. Also, ensure they are filled with exactly the same amount of batter.

3- It is better to sift all dry ingredients to avoid clumps in the mixture.

4- When mixing the batter, stir it in one direction; this will make the cupcakes light and fluffy.

5- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.

Finally, you have your delicious mouth-watering mini cupcakes!! Give this recipe a try and show off to your family and friends! I guarantee they will love it!
