• 3/4 tsp Baking powder
• Pinch salt
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 150 gms Sugar
• 60 gms Unsalted Butter
• 2 Whole eggs
• 200 gms Cold Cream cheese

Steps

1. Pre heat the oven at 180°C and make the cupcake tray ready. Shift all the dry ingredients along with flour in a bowl except the sugar. Cream the butter and sugar first and add the eggs and whisk again till it becomes light and fluffy. Then add the flour mixture and milk alternative little by little in three and two parts respectively, make a smooth batter.
2. With the help of a ladle / scoop distribute the batter in 12 cupcake liners. Bake for about 20 minutes in the preheated oven or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Once done cool it completely on a wire rack before you do the frosting.
3. Once the cupcakes cools down completely prepare the frosting. With wire whisk, whisk the cream cheese and sugar first, add vanilla too. Once it becomes light and fluffy, add the whipping cream (dairy or non dairy but it has to be chilled, just taken out of the fridge) and whisk till it reached stiff peaks. Do not overwhip it otherwise it will curdle up (to form butter and release water). Put it in a piping bag with a nozzle of your choice.
4. Frost and decorate the cupcakes the way you want. Your cupcakes are ready to be served! If not consuming immediately, keep it in fridge in a closed container.
