My Cupcake Liners!

These are my cupcake liners!! I actually don't know why I am posting this now, seeing as I got these a few months ago. Anyways, they are silicon, so I can just reuse them! They are a bit difficult to wash, but you don't even need a cupcake tin to bake in :)
I have made many a cupcake in these XD

Raspberry Vanilla Cupcakes

This is a recipe I invented (sort of). The vanilla part is from the Joy of Baking website, and I added the raspberries.

INGREDIENTS


1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup  granulated white sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk

INSTRUCTIONS

Beat together the eggs, sugar, and butter, and vanilla extract. Then, in a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternate pouring the flour mixture to the batter with the milk.  Melt a small bowl full of frozen raspberries. Then, pour that into the batter. Mix together with a spoon. Pour into cupcake tins. Makes about 12 cupcakes.
ENJOY!! :D

Chocolate Cupcakes

This is a recipe for chocolate cupcakes. It is my grandma's recipe for yogurt cake, and my cousin added the chocolate.  I think she made it up, so they're not exact measurements. But they are really good!

INGREDIENTS

3 eggs
1 plain yogurt
Flour
sugar
baking soda
powdered chocolate (like the kind used for hot cocoa)
vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to about 375 degrees Fahrenheit  Pour the yogurt into a bowl. Now, pour in 2 yogurt cups of flour. Pour in 1 yogurt cup of sugar. Pour in 1 yogurt cup of vegetable oil. Pour in 2 1/2 yogurt cups of chocolate. Put in the eggs. Pour in 16 grams of baking powder. Beat it all together until its smooth. Put in the molds.  Then, put the oven temp to about 330 (sorry the measurements are kind of random- they are conversions from Celsius)  and bake for five minutes. Then, take the temperature, and lower it to about 320 degrees F and bake for twenty minutes or until you stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean. ENJOY! :)
