If you’re looking for a really easy Thermomix cupcake recipe then this is just for you! These are soft, fluffy and really the perfect texture. Bonus points that it’s such a quick recipe too. Get ready for this melt in your mouth cupcake.
This recipe is usually my go to birthday party or take to my kids school or kindy recipe. Maybe because I’m a bit more short on time these days and these just get the job done but still taste great! I definitely use to spend a lot more time decorating them when I didn’t have kids but who’s got time for that right?! I must admit I did secretly love putting so much love into the decorating. My mind would really get lost in the process, it was like my own little mediation session. Might have to show you some tips and tricks on the decorating side another day.
For today I bring you the vanilla cupcake recipe and a few tips on changing them up for every occasion. If you want chocolate cupcakes, change the vanilla for some cocoa. Try decorating them with some basic buttercream. You can always add a food colouring if you prefer a coloured cupcake. Even try adding some chocolate chips or dried fruit and nuts if you like.
You can half the recipe if you don’t need so many but the big batch is great for a party or feeding a crowd.
