This cake is topped with buttercream frosting, Lets see how to do it.

Butter - 1/2 stick ( room temp)
Powdered sugar/ Icing sugar - 3 1/2 cups
vanilla ess - 1 tsp
milk - 2 tablsp

Add everything in a mixing bowl and beat them for 10 min until you are able to spread it above cake. I used a electric beater and took 10 min to get the correct consistency.

Decoration 1 :

Spread the buttercream frosting above the cake. Cake shd be completely cooled down before applying frosting.

Using various fruits decorate it with your creativity.

Decoration 2 :

Super simple. Spread the frosting above cake as mentioned before.
Take any chocolate like dairy milk/ fivestar (anything). Using a grater just grate above the frosting. As simple as that.

Quick Easy Blueberry muffins

Method

Mix all the wet ingredients first like egg, milk, vanilla ess, oil along with sugar.

In a separate bowl, add the dry ingredients together like flour (sieve them), baking powder, salt.

Now add the dry to the wet mixture little by little and mix gently.

Don’t over mix, just until everything is incorporated well.

Finally add the blueberries and give a quick mix. Pour into the muffin tray.

Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Bake it for 12 to 15 min until done( toothpick inserted shd come out clean).

Note:

1.Before adding blueberries dust them with flour( see pic below) and then add to the muffin mix. This helps the muffins not to settle down.

2.If you dont have a muffin tray, take a paper muffin cups and fill the mix and arrange them in cookie tray or normal cake pan and bake.
