Yellow Buttermilk Cupcakes

It has been a long time since I posted recipes. It is not that I stopped sharing but need some time to load them up. I will continue to share my recipes as long as it is "allow".

This is an adapted or slightly tweaked recipes from Martha Steward - Cupcake book. It is very soft and light, flavorful as well due to the fact that it uses buttermilk. Do give it a try.

Buttermilk Vanilla Cupcake

I modify the recipe from my favorite vanilla cupcake recipe. The taste actually turn out to be very different. It is very flavorful in fact. I added in some lemon juice and replace milk with buttermilk. However the texture was different, it is now more dense and crumbly compared to the original. I quite like it, goes well with a cup of tea!
