And the best part is you can easily make them in your Usha’s OTG (Oven Toaster Grill).
Whether you’re a home baker or simply trying your hands on baking, making different varieties of cupcakes is the best start. Since they are so versatile, you can alter any recipe as per your dietary restrictions. From the classic vanilla cupcakes to the fruity cherry versions, here are some of the must-try cupcake recipes you can easily recreate in your Usha’s OTG.
Vanilla Cupcakes
If there is a dessert that has no haters, it has to be vanilla cupcakes. They are simple yet so elegant. Plus, since the vanilla cupcakes are so versatile, you can literally add any of your favourite fruit, toppings, or frosting. All you need to do is bake a batch of cupcakes in Usha’s OTG and have a gala time to enjoy the mouth-melting desserts.
Mug Cupcakes
Mug cupcakes are the easiest and quickest desserts that can be made in an OTG. To make the cupcakes, you’ll need to start by adding flour, sugar, cocoa powder, butter or oil as per your preference, and milk, depending on the consistency. You can quickly whisk all the ingredients together with a blender or with a spoon. Next, you need to get oven-safe mugs and pour the batter into the mugs. Don’t fill the mugs to the brim, as the batter will rise once heated. Wait for about three to five minutes, and your cupcakes will be ready to dig into.

Cherry Cupcake
Cherries are delightful and juicy summer fruits that can be used in various desserts. Just the way you would bake regular cupcakes, you can make the batter with flour, milk, butter, eggs, baking soda, baking powder, powdered sugar, and a little salt. Then, fold in chopped cherries, pour the batter into moulds, and bake for about 20-30 minutes in Usha’s OTG. Finally, you can decorate the cupcakes with buttercream frosting and literally add a cherry to the cake.
Peanut Butter Cupcake
If you are a fan of peanut butter, why don’t you add it to the batter and bake a batch of soft cupcakes? You can start by melting some chocolate and lining the cup moulds with it. Then, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and some milk with the flour and baking powder till you get the desired consistency. Finally, pour the batter into the chocolate-lined moulds and bake to perfection.
Carrot Cupcakes
Carrot cupcakes are traditionally made for festivals like Easter, but who said you can’t enjoy them when you have a craving? To make them at home, you can start by whisking the dry ingredients like flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and a little salt. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients like oil or butter and vanilla extract. After mixing the dry and wet ingredients, fold in grated carrots and chopped dry fruits. Pour the batter into moulds, bake in Usha’s OTG, and your cupcakes will be ready.
