Vanilla Cupcake Mix

I opened up their Classic packaging and unsealed the cupcake mix. It has a really lovely and aromatic smell of vanilla. Moreover, the cupcake mixture has fine texture. Very straightforward and so easy to prepare, merely by following the instructions clearly stated on the back of the packaging. Preparation time is 10 minutes and baking time is 25 minutes. During baking, the creamy and mouth-watering scent of vanilla filled my house. The cupcakes batter raised well and did not collapse when removed from the oven to cool.

Vanilla Cupcake Mix

What you will need (per packaging)

For the Cupcakes:

  • 2 Eggs or Vegan Egg Replacer
  • 160ml Water (I used 160ml unsweetened rice milk)
  • 60g (2.1oz) Melted Margarine (Dairy Free) [I used 60g (2.1oz) Melted Vegan Butter]
  • 1 x 12 Cupcake Tray

For the Icing:

  • 50g (1.8oz) Melted Margarine (Dairy Free) [I used 150g (5.3oz) Melted Vegan Butter]

I used extra vegan butter (150g/5.3oz) than recommended on the packaging. As I find that 50g/1.8oz is too sweet and not sufficient icing for all 12 cupcakes. With 150g/5.3oz, I have just enough to pipe some floral shape icing for each cupcake. And the sweetness of the icing is just right without adding any additional icing. Other than what is provided with the packaging. Also, adding more butter is optional.

Vanilla Cupcake Mix

Verdict

Dainty, soft and fluffy vanilla cupcakes that are almost effortless to make at home. Plus they do not taste like its gluten free. Besides, they resemble more like a sponge or chiffon cupcake texture, taste sensational, full of flavour and are extremely addictive. Most of us will have fond memories of vanilla frosting. Especially as a kid when helping out with holiday baking in the kitchen. And piping these vanilla cupcakes brought back sentiments that are so incredibly nostalgic.

When you plan for a kids’ or even adults’ birthdays or tea parties or any other special occasions. You will sure to make vanilla cupcakes that will definitely be a crowd pleaser amongst your family and friends. They will definitely enjoy and feel spoilt with these gastronomic treats.

The retail price of $5.50 is highly competitive with the mass-produced supermarket gluten free vanilla cupcake mixes. But of course the quality and taste is not comparable at all, but much healthier and tastier.
