Eggless Banana walnut cupcake

Banana and walnut go well together. I tried banana walnut cakes before, but this time i wanted to make cupcakes with the same combination without egg.

Ingredients for cupcake:

1 cup all-purpose flour (250 ml cup)
2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup sugar or brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Ingredients for Frosting:

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place the cupcake liners to the cupcake tray. I personally prefer cupcake liners as they preserve the freshness of the baked cupcakes especially on the sides of the cupcake.

2. In a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Repeat this process twice as it will make sure there are no lumps and the dry ingredients are mixed well. Now, the dry ingredients are ready.

3. In another bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or a hand mixer.

4. Add oil to the bananas and mix well.

5. Add sugar and mix well. Now the wet ingredients are ready.

6. Pour the wet ingredient to the dry ingredient bowl. Fold together gently. Do not over mix or beat the batter.

7. Add chopped walnuts and retain few of them for topping.

8. Mix the batter once and immediately transfer to the cupcake tray.

9. Fill only 3/4 of each of the cupcake liners, allowing room for the raising of the cupcakes.

10. Top each of the batter filled cupcake liners with few chopped walnuts.

11. Place the cupcake trays on the middle rack of the oven and bake at 350 F, for 25 to 28 minutes. Mine got baked at 25 minutes.

12. After 25 minutes, insert a toothpick/fork at the centre of the cupcake and see if it comes out clean. If not bake for few more minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

13. Remove the cupcakes from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting.

14. Beat together sugar and butter till it becomes creamy, then add heavy whipping cream. Beat it further till it peaks stiff. Transfer the frosting (whipped contents) to a frosting bag or a ziplock cover. Top the cupcakes with frosting. You can also add any kind of fruit toppings. Here I have added cherry topping and am loving it :). Please do share your comments after trying this recipe.

Palkova / Thirattupaal/ Sweet Khoya

Homemade sweets are always special as you have control over the sweetness ( well, i agree you cannot compromise on the sugar added to a sweet recipe) however we can assure brown sugar or jaggery could be substituted wherever possible and free of food colors and any other preservatives. In today's recipe, i'm going to share about a simple two-ingredient recipe which uses cow's milk - its palkova aka thirattupaal (sweet khoya). The process is quite cumbersome, however with a heavy bottomed non-stick pan, you can skip stirring quite often and sit back and watch while it gets simmered without being burnt. Choose the right vessel for this dish and you would be rest assured a hassle free recipe. Let's get into recipe and the steps. You can use full cream milk or buffalo's milk instead of cow's milk. Cow's milk gives the best of taste you can ever get! Happy ready and hope you try out this recipe at your home and share your valuable feedback. Ingredients...

Chocolate dipped strawberries

I once tried to make chocolate flavoured cake. You know what i mean ? Well it's not a chocolate cake, but i wanted to add little bit of melted chocolate to the batter and I used a microwave safe bowl to melt the chocolate. Uff! the chocolate did not melt evenly instead, the bowl started to burn. Never in my world, i know that the microwave needs to be set in the lowest power mode and the chocolate needs to be melted by keeping it in the microwave and check every 30 seconds. Over the period of daily cooking and learning, i thought double boiler method would be the best way to melt chocolates and of course without burning anything! Double boiler method helps not to burn the vessel in which we melt the chocolate. It is basically a sauce pan filled with one fourth of water and boil it. Once the water starts boiling, place the chocolate containing vessel inside the sauce pan (make sure, the vessel does not slide and get water into it, that is why we choose to fill one fourth of the sa...
