Whole Wheat Vanilla Cup Cake

Making wheat cake was not by intention but it was due to sheer compulsion. I had promised my little one that I will make cupcakes in the morning and pack it in his tiffin box. I was confident enough that I had all the ingredients at home. 

Today morning as a started my day in the kitchen at 5.30am, the first thing was to make the cupcake mixture and put it in the oven, so that I can continue with my other works.  Half asleep I started mixing for the cake mixture starting with butter, sugar and egg. Now came the turn to add the flour, when I opened the flour container, it was empty. This point I could not back out, so the most easily available flour in any Indian kitchen is wheat flour.  Immediately replaced the regular flour to whole wheat flour, but when I mixed in the batter, it was a little thick, so there came in milk as a handy thinner.

But after all this the end result was absolutely mind-blowing. So it was easy, simple and healthy. And the kid loved it. What else does a mother want?
