Golden Butter Cupcakes 金黄牛油杯子蛋糕

When I saw my FB friend, Lim Lee Chien's posting of those golden butter cupcakes, my next action was to scroll for her recipe. Without any disappointment, I found it, copied it and replicated it! 

Love this velvety cake which only needs simple tools to make. Why not burn some calories by preparing the batter manually instead of using an electric mixer, especially this is a calorie laden cake.

Thank you Lee Chien for sharing this fabulous recipe :)

Using 60g eggs

180g unsalted butter, softened
