1/4 cup oil

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 1/4 cup all purpose flour/maida

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

A pinch of salt

Method:-

1. Firstly, in a large mixing bowl, take curd/yogurt. Further add in oil and vanilla essence and whisk them for 5-7 mins till the curd and the oil blends smooth. 

2. Now, take a sieve and add in all purpose flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Sieve all of them together making sure that there are no lumps. 

3. Combine and whisk all the dry ingredients with the curd mixture. Now, add in water and make a smooth batter. Whisk them well till the batter turns smooth and is lump free. The batter should be of smooth dropping consistency. 

4. Preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius for 10 mins. Next, grease the cupcake mould tray and sprinkle some flour over it. Alternatively, you can also place in cupcake liners in each mould. 

5. Now, pour in the batter to each mould to 3/4 full. Alternatively, you can pour the batter into the cupcake liners to 3/4 full. 

6. Tap the tray to remove any air bubbles if present. Bake the cupcakes at 180 degree Celsius for 15-20 mins. 

7. To check the doneness of the cupcake, insert a toothpick in the center and see if it comes out clean. If it does not come out clean, bake for 5 minutes more. Cool the cupcakes completely. 

8. Finally, serve eggless vanilla cupcakes immediately or you may serve as required.
