Cotton Cupcakes
The taste of this cake is delicate and soft like cotton. Preparing just a little different from traditional vanilla cupcakes is simple. Into a mixing bowl, add two eggs and 120 grams of granulated sugar then with an electric mixer, whip the mixture on high speed for 5 minutes. The egg mixture will turn pale and thick after mixing.
Sift in 120 grams of all-purpose flour and a teaspoon of baking powder into the egg mixture and mix on low speed for just about 10 seconds then continue mixing it with a spatula to prevent overbeating the batter. Once the batter is smooth with no lumps, set it aside. Add 80 grams of butter and 60 ml of milk in a medium-sized mixing bowl and melt it in a microwave for about 1 minute.
Stir the butter and milk mixture to make sure it is melted and well combined then add 2 scoops of the cake batter into the melted butter and mix. Pour the butter mixture into the cake batter add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix everything until incorporated and you have a smooth homogenous mixture.
Line muffin liners into the pan and scoop the batter into each of the moulds to about two-thirds full. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to get rid of trapped air then bake in a 350F/180C preheated oven for 22 minutes. Shock them with a few taps on the table to prevent the cake from sinking as soon as they are out of the oven.
Remove them from the pan and line them on a wire rack to cool or serve them warm. If you want them to be more moist, place them in an airtight container and leave them overnight. Serve them plain or with topping cream.
