salam adik maness.. how are you doing?? feeling good?? alhamdulillah... right now ahkak jah find a new hobby & really adore about it... proudly to announce that i'm a baker in my little kitchen.. hihihi.. as some of you might know that i'm a big fan of rvc, so 90% of my baking time goes to rvc... yeay!!!
at first, i thought baking was super difficult job to do.. but i was wrong.. after quite sometimes, this job become so easy..
my kids loved the cuppies... i always baked after i reached home, definitely at night around 9-10pm.. as a beginner, i took almost 2 hours to finish my job.. slow, eh?? the next day, i used to bekalkan my kids with 4 cuppies.. and usually my rvc finished on the next day.. the longest period was two days.. did i already mentioned about hantu cake here?? of course, this hantu cake an eat 4 cuppies at a time.. no wonder all my rvc finished in a short time..
being a beginner, the first job is to look for the best recipe.. i collect a lot of rvc recipes from my friends & internet... then i analysed the recipes to find similarity and differences between one and another..
here's the recipe.. i combined the recipe that i found in internet with my friend's recipe.. the outcome was so OHSEMMM, TASTY, etc... i love it...

Step 3
Divide the mixture among the prepared pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centres comes out clean. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
