The word cupcakes is a delight to children’s
ears mostly .
Today’s recipe will be a vanilla sponge which
could be made into many flavours with the
change of the essence.
To list a few, chocolate sponge ,coffee

*The only changes will be the essence if your
using only essence for the change of flavours.
*Part of the flour has to be substituted when
using nutty flours like almond and pista.
*When adding chocolate reduce the amount of
flour to the cocoa your recipe calls for.

form mixed in warm milk.
