I have mentioned this before itself, that hubby is not a big cake fan. To be frank he haven’t tasted most of my cakes. Can you believe that. He is my biggest critic, i wanted him to taste all my foods and give a honest critic for that. And he truly does for all food, but not cakes. So i decided and came up with a plan.
Couple
weeks back, i decided to try my hands on blueberry lemon cupcakes. So i
called hubby and asked him to help me in this. He too came and made the
entire thing.I measured all the ingredients and I stood beside him and took pictures of it. He made the
batter and poured it into the muffin cases and put it in the oven. Then
he was so impatient, he kept on asking me when it will be ready, i told
him to wait and finally after 35 mins i took the cupcakes out of the
oven and took two of the cakes from it and gave him to taste. You know what comment i got from him, “OMG IT IS JUST MELTING IN MY MOUTH, IT IS SO SOFT”
And yes this cupcakes just melt in your mouth and it has a amazing lemony flavour and taste to it. You have to try it to enjoy the taste. And one more thing, if you want your kids or even kid like hubby to eat any of their hated stuff, just ask them to help you and make it. This way they will taste it for sure..

MOUTHWATERING CAKE RECIPE VERY YUMMY
Lovely cup cakes..am a big fan of them.thank you for this recipe..I tried the same with cranberry.
i dont have oven can i make it without oven??
@anjali kawaraniYou can make this in pressure cooker
Which dried fruits cn i use beside blueberry ,which are easily available in the market?
@Richa Chhabrayou can use anything
Aarthi, what should be the consistency of the batter, i mean its thick or think..
@MadhuIt should be little thin
Aarthi i have only 6 silicone muffin moulds with me ( no tray) .Can i bake them in batches one after the other..In that case do we have to pre heat oven again? Cos it mite take sometime for the muffins to come out of the moulds before i make the next batch.
@Anonymousif your oven gets cold before you put the next batch in preheating is must
Shall I make in microwave?if yes means how can I?
@Anonymousif u have convection mode you can cook, else not. in convection mode, same temp and same timing
Great! Thanks for this recipe, your cupcakes look delicious!
Dear Aarthi if we prepare them in batches then do we make the batter once or we have to make batter also in batches. How many cupcakes does this rcp yield.
@Maneesha jainno u can make in one and keep it when the other is baking
Hi Aarthi, I have one basic doubt, I always try to make cakes or cup cakes but they come hard or get burnt. I have a convection oven. Is there any time specification for the preheat thing. Or we just need to wait till preheat is complete irrespective of time limit
U have to preheat for 10 mins and then bake
Hi, what changes to be done to make six cupcakes?
I have a convection mode and when i bake a cake, it says to preheat the oven. How do i do that in my microwave….. can i use the same degree for the same amount of time mentioned in the recipe or how is it in convection mode.
same timing and temp in convection mode too.
