Cupcakes are always a hit in the Vijendranath household. Kitana loves eating them and I enjoy baking them for her! It’s simple, quick and a delicious treat for afternoon tea.

Kitana and I have been spending some much-needed quality time in the kitchen. We have been trying new and old recipes, so it wasn’t too difficult thinking about what to bake for the Royal Sunday Recipe challenge.

I knew I had to do an old time favourite but this time, I tried out a new recipe, added a twist and surprised my little girl by incorporating her favourite fruit – strawberries!

It’s not easy convincing a 4-year-old to try something new but when I mentioned strawberries and what mommy could win, she happily agreed!

Royal Baking Powder is running a competition on their newly launched Facebook page where fans will stand a chance to win big!

Royal Sunday recipe

Royal Baking Powder has been a tried and trusted kitchen staple for over 150 years. It’s a product that no Sunday meal is ever complete without.

It brings back so many childhood memories for me.

Baking together was something my mom and I loved doing together on a Saturday night! I used to patiently wait for her to finish baking so I could lick the wooden spoon clean, and watch the cupcakes rise in the oven while enjoying a cup of tea with her.

Sundays were the days to relax, watch a movie and indulge in our baked goodies that we had prepared the night before.

Cupcakes are one of those childhood treats that you just never outgrow! So today I am sharing a recipe that my mom shared with me.

I haven’t tried baking strawberry cupcakes before.

This may be the first time for me but it definitely isn’t going to be the last especially since my daughter loves strawberries! It’s the perfect cupcake for summer parties or even Christmas and it has cream cheese! 😉

7. Bake in the preheated oven until the cupcakes have risen and a skewer inserted into the centre of a cupcake comes out clean, about 23 minutes.

8. Allow the cupcakes to cool at least 10 minutes before icing.
