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

sponge,pista sponge,mint sponge, caramel,

almond sponge,butterscotch,orange,lemon.,,,

*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.

*Coffee and caramel can be added in liquid

form mixed in warm milk.

*Curd or vinegar can be added to enhance the

texture.
