Ingredients

3 eggs

140 g granulated sugar

8 g vanilla sugar

0.2 g salt

140 ml sunflower oil

200 g flour

10 g baking powder

75 ml milk


Instructions

  1. Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the Dry Ingredients: Add the sunflower oil, flour, baking powder, and milk. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (347°F).
  4. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Fill each liner with about 28-30 grams of batter, or until they are two-thirds full.
  5. Bake the Cupcakes: Place the tin in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes. Check with a toothpick after 20 minutes—if it comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
