This is a yummy whipped cream cupcakes topped with fresh fruits and that turned out to be one of the best cupcakes I ever tasted. Cake toppers aren't always required. It's delicious, melt-in your mouth goodness and buttery flavored, also made using the cooked dough method. I believe you can make so much better than the store bought bakery and make this looks as gorgeus into a special treat or make a birthday really special.

4) Pour the mixture into 20 baking cups 5.5cm x 4.5cm / 2.2'' x 1.7''. Bang the pan 2-3 times to remove any air bubbles.
5) Without a hot water bath, Fan oven 150°C bake for 25 minutes, or until cake tests done. Leave to cool in the oven with the door open, for at least 5 minutes and remove the cake from oven and bang your pan again, prevent it from shrinking when it cools down.

2) Over mixing cake batter can result in a heavy, sinking fast, closed to rubbery texture.
3) Cut a path down and don't stir and never use an electric mixer for mixing.
4) Cakes shrink or wet if they're not baked thoroughly.

6) Place egg whites in a clean, dry bowl, completely free from any grease, oil or water.
Beating egg whites is a very important process, It will help your cakes rise with perfectly.
