Eggless Tutti Frutti Cupcakes

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

It is Christmas today. The birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas is a beautiful festival with lots of goodies , gifts and my favourite Santa Claus. 

I have been celebrating this festival since childhood. When I was young this was the only day in the year when we used to eat cake. Yes you are thinking right... I rarely used to cut cake on my birthday. My mom used to satisfy us with kheer or halwa... The round shaped halwa.. Indianized Cake.

But as I grew up my urge to bake increased and then I started experimenting with baking. It's been about 6 years and I now bake professionally as a home baker. 

These are tutti frutti cupcakes. My favourite and very easy and basic to bake. The photo that I have shared is 6 years old photo. This was the first time I had baked a cake. The result was awesome and since then they became my favourite. I would love to share its recipe with you.

Tips

• Measurements are very important in baking. Be precise with them.
• Best procedure to start baking is first gathering all ingredients on kitchen counter then preheating the oven. While the oven is getting preheated make the batter.
• Chocolate chips is optional. You can add it to batter and garnish them on top as well. Put them on cupcakes before baking.
