Before you begin

Read the whole recipe, then get these ready.

  • 6-hole muffin tin
  • Paper liners
  • Two bowls
  • Whisk

Do not fill the cases to the top. Two-thirds full gives the batter room to dome without spilling over.

Ingredients

Original recipe weights. Small quantities stay in measuring spoons; eggs stay as counts. 1 kg = 1,000 g.

Let’s bake

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line the muffin tin.

  2. 2

    Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk milk, sugar, oil and vanilla in a second bowl.

  3. 3

    Fold wet into dry until just smooth. Divide between the liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

  4. 4

    Bake for 20–25 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean. Cool before frosting.
