Equipment

  • 1 pot for baking cake without oven.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Flour provides the structure for the cupcakes and helps create a soft, tender crumb.
  • ½ cup butter Butter adds richness, moisture, and a delicious flavor that makes the cupcakes soft and satisfying.
  • ½ cup liquid milk Milk keeps the batter moist and contributes to a light, fluffy texture.
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar Sugar sweetens the cupcakes and helps create a soft and tender crumb.
  • 4 whole small eggs Eggs provide structure, moisture, and help the cupcakes rise properly while adding richness.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Baking powder acts as a leavening agent, helping the cupcakes become light and fluffy.
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda Baking soda works with the baking powder to improve the texture and ensure a good rise.
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg Ground nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic flavor that enhances the overall taste of the cupcakes.
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional) Vanilla extract adds sweetness and enhances the flavor of the cupcakes.
  • 1 whole Handful Colorful sprinkles (optional) Sprinkles add fun colors and create beautiful natural patterns on top of the cupcakes after baking.
  • 1/2 whole Colored icing cream Colored icing cream adds a festive touch and can be used to write special Father's Day messages or decorate the cupcakes.

Instructions

Notes

Do not overmix the batter, as this can make the cupcakes dense instead of soft and fluffy.
Fill the cupcake liners only two-thirds full to prevent overflowing while baking.
Always preheat the pot and use low heat for even baking.
Avoid opening the pot frequently, as this may cause the cupcakes to collapse.
Insert a toothpick into the center to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready.
Colorful sprinkles and icing are optional but make these Father's Day cupcakes extra festive.
Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
