A cupcake is a small cake designed for one serving with frosting. I was always confused with cupcakes and muffins and can’t understand the difference till today. I guess it’s something about the icing and batter, if anyone knows, please do clear it to me.

These are one of the simplest and easiest eggless cupcakes that you would definitely want to try. Now I made them on St. Patricks day so used green food coloring in the whipped cream for the ocassion. You may enjoy them without frosting or any frosting of your choice.

Pro tips/FAQs

If the frosting is done, they should be consumed within two days, stored refrigerated.

Can you suggest any alternative for milk?

You can replace milk with some water or plant-based milk. There won’t be any difference in texture.

I have always baked them using sunflower oil as it doesn’t have any odor/smell. Olive oil on the other hand has a slight smell. I have not tried baking with olive oil but I guess it should be ok to use it.
