In this instructable, I'm going to share one of the easiest ways to make cupcakes at home.
Supplies
You will need
Tools:
- Non-stick cupcake tray
- measuring spoons/ cup
- mixing bowl
- A hand or electric mixer
- Cooling rack or large plate
- flat plastic spoon
- Silicone/ paper baking cups
- kitchen brush
Ingredients:
- Any boxed cupcake mix ( I will be using Pillsbury Funfetti )
- 1 1/3 cups of water
- 2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- icing or frosting
- *optional* sprinkles
Pre-heat Oven
Now that you have all your clean tools and all your ingredients gathered preheat your oven to 350°F. Since we're using a nonstick baking pan, lower the temperature to 325°F.
Mix Ingredients
Grab your bowl and place dry mix first then add your other ingredients,
add your 1 1/3 cups of water then 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and lastly 3 large eggs. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes and keep mixing the batter until it has a rice moist texture.
Get Pan Ready
Place silicon/paper baking cups on the pan spray some cooking spray or use a small amount of oil with a brush so the batter won't stick.
Batter
Time to pour the batter into the pan, tap lightly on the counter to evenly spread the batter on each cup to see the amount poured. DON'T pour too much batter or it will overflow when in the oven.
Time to Bake
Bake cupcakes for 32-35 minutes at 350*F to know when cupcakes are done baking insert a toothpick in the center of one of the cupcakes if it comes out clean then you will know they're ready to get out of the oven.
Set Aside
Once cupcakes are out of the oven let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 15 minutes. After those 15 minutes have passed by. Remove the cupcakes from the pan onto a plate that fits all 12 cupcakes.
Decorating!
Once cupcakes are cool it's time to finally decorate them. You can use any sort of icing or frosting even sprinkles. You can find some ideas online as well. Do as your heart desires and you're good to go!
There you're done with easy and tasty cupcakes at home. Enjoy!
