Milktart cupcakes

I really love milktart. It is the only thing I can bake without needing a recipe. So when I saw this milktart cupcake recipe I just had to try it.
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 and ½ cups sugar
2 cups cake flour, sieved
1 packet of milk tart-flavoured instant pudding
1 cup milk
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. vanilla essence
2½ tsp. baking powder

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. To make cupcakes: Whisk eggs and sugar together until light, pale and fluffy.
2. Add rest of ingredients and whisk until smooth. Divide into 12 to 15 cupcake holders and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on a cooling rack. (Recipe by Illanique van Aswegen)  

It is a quick recipe to put together baglady and it took me about 15 minutes from mixing to oven so it would be ideal to serve with tea when unexpected guests arrive.

Unfortunately it did not have that unique milktart flavor but it is a nice vanilla cupcake, albeit a bit too sweet for my liking. The kids could not have enough so I think I will make it again and just decrease the sugar a bit.

I would like to enter these cupcakes in the food24 cupcake competition.

  1. Sounds like an interesting recipe, how much oil did you use?

  2. My fam just loooove milktart!! I am sure they will enjoy this!!

  3. How much oil did you use? We should in fact ask the children to do the final voting, they have very high standards and they don’t think like we adults do, it’s either one of the two; taste nice, don’t taste nice! :)

  4. This does look like an interesting recipe. Good luck

  5. There’s a milk-tart flavoured instant pudding? Goodness!

  6. Yes Zabwan. They made all these classic south african tarts/ deserts into instant puddings.

  7. Thanks, Usha

  8. Oh I only saw now the measurement of the oil didnt is a question mark. Fixed it.

    Yes kids are the best food critics. They dont lie.

  9. I was disappointed that it didnt have more of a milktart flavour, Pinky.

  10. It sure is different, Sue. I didnt even know one can add instant puddings to batter.

  11. love the piping and the concept! Good luck :)

  12. What a interesting cupcake – Good luck.

  13. Well done :-)

  14. I don’t care what you say these look divine and too complicated for me! 15 mins you say? whatever man!

  15. I love milk tart – I must try these sometime but I had no idea you could get milk tart flavoured instant pudding!!

  16. I hope you are well? Enjoy the weekend!

  17. What a great flavour idea! Think I need to experiment with this a bit – what if you used some of the pudding in the icing as well to inject more milktart flavour? And perhaps sprinkled with a bit of cinnamon? Either way, I’m sure they tasted great.

  18. great idea, Marisa. I should try that too.

  19. Hi Pinky, I am fine. Just a bit too busy to blog now. Reading still, though.

  20. A piece of erudition unlkie any other!
