1
2
Whisk the ingredients
Start by creaming butter and sugar together in a bowl using a wooden spoon or electric whisk. Beat until soft, fluffy and pale in colour. Then add the flour, eggs, milk, and salt and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
3
Pour the batter in mould
Divide the mixture between all the paper cases making sure to get an even amount of mixture in each. You can use an ice-cream scoop for this.
4
Bake in oven
Put the lined tins in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, and bake for a further 3-7 minutes, until trays of cupcakes are a light golden colour.
5
Check if baked properly
Put the lined tins in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then swap the position of the tins over so the bottom tray is now at the top of the oven, and visa versa, and bake for a further 3-7 minutes, until both trays of cupcakes are a light golden colour.
6
Cool the cupcakes
Leave the cupcakes to cool in the tins for a few minutes and then transfer them onto a wire rack to cool.
7
Serve
Once completely cooled you can decorate with buttercream, icing mixture, and much more and serve them.
Glycemic Index
75 High
Likely to produce a faster blood glucose rise; keep portions controlled and pair with protein/fiber.
How to flatten the spike
- Pair this dish with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs, fish, or curd).
- Add a fiber-rich side salad or non-starchy vegetables.
- Avoid combining this with another high-carb side in the same meal.

Health Goals Suitability
Weight Loss
At 383 kcal per serving, this is a higher-kcal dish. The refined carbs contribute to calorie density — consider whole grain alternatives. Enjoy as an occasional treat, or reduce the portion to half for better calorie control.
Diabetes
Higher glycemic index (GI: 75) means this can cause blood sugar spikes. The refined carbohydrates contribute to rapid glucose absorption. Diabetics should consume smaller portions and always pair with protein and fiber to slow digestion.
Muscle Gain
Low protein content (5.8g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.
Heart Health
Watch your intake — saturated fat (12.9g) and cholesterol (134mg) are on the higher side. Reduce ghee/oil and use olive or mustard oil for healthier fats.
PCOS
Moderate-to-high GI (75) can spike insulin — Women with PCOS should pair this with fiber-rich vegetables and a protein source to improve the insulin response. Consider replacing refined ingredients with whole grains or millets.
Thyroid
No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions.
Portion Guidance
Weight Loss
1 Piece (~105.6g) or slightly less. Pair with a high-fiber side like cucumber raita or salad to feel full on fewer kcal.
Muscle Gain
1 Piece (~105.6g) plus a protein-rich addition (100g paneer, 2 eggs, or 1 cup dal) to hit 25-30g protein per meal.
Diabetes
1 Piece (~105.6g). Pair with whole wheat roti (not rice) to lower glycemic load. Eat protein and fiber portions first, carbs last.
General
1 Piece (~105.6g) provides a balanced portion. Adjust based on your daily kcal target — track accurately in the Hint app.
Recipe Modifications
Lower fat
Use low-fat paneer or reduce ghee/butter by half. Switch to a non-stick pan to minimize oil.
Boost protein
Increase the protein portion (chicken/fish/eggs) by 50g, or serve with a side of Greek yogurt.
Lower glycemic load
Replace refined flour (maida) with whole wheat atta, or swap white rice with brown rice or millets like jowar/bajra.
Reduce calories
Reduce serving size by 25% to save ~95.8 kcal. Add extra vegetables (capsicum, spinach, mushrooms) to increase volume without adding many kcal.
Make diabetes-friendly
Replace potato with cauliflower or bottle gourd. Add a squeeze of lemon — the acidity lowers glycemic response.
Meal prep friendly
Cupcake stores well for 2-3 days refrigerated. Reheat on stovetop for best texture. Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weeknight cooking.
Common Mistakes
Using too much oil or ghee
Why it matters: Excess oil can double the calorie content without adding nutritional value.
Fix: Measure oil with a tablespoon instead of pouring freely. 1 tbsp = 120 kcal.
Not measuring serving size
Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (766-1149 kcal).
Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
Pairing with another high-GI food
Why it matters: Eating rice with another starchy dish doubles the glycemic load, causing sharp blood sugar spikes.
Fix: Choose one carb source per meal. Pair with roti instead of rice, or add a protein-rich side.
