    Lemon cupcakes

    2 cups cake flour

    2 1/2 tsp double-action baking powder

    3/4 tsp salt

    90g unsalted butter

    200g caster sugar

    1 large egg

    1 tsp vanilla extract

    zest of 2 lemons

    250ml milk

    1. Preheat oven to 190degC. Line muffin tins with paper liners.

    2. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.

    3. Cream butter and sugar together until well blended. Beat in egg, vanilla extract and lemon zest (best to zest directly into the bowl).

    4. In three additions, add the milk and flour mixtures alternating between the two.

    5. Fill each muffin hole just over half-full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until risen, springy and slightly golden. Cool 10 minutes in tin; transfer to wire rack and cool completely.

    Thanks for your compliments.. :) We just tried our luck with the living room colours combo, heng it turned out all right. We always wanted an island in the kitchen and the small kitchen gave us the perfect excuse to build one cos we got absolutely no place to install the hob after putting up the 2 ovens. The kitchen now looks better with everything set up.. very industrial feel with all the steel appliances ;) Will take a pic and post it up after we finish sorting things out..

    thx for the PM! :D

    u must really love baking..

    got 2 ovens...

    thou the kitchen is small... but u still manage to make an island out of it...

    really looks nice and doesn't look as small with the wall hacked and replace with glass door..

    i oso love to have an island...

    but my kitchen is longish...

    dun really have space for island... else no space to walk liao.. haha

    Hi there

    Can anyone suggest where I could get a replacement metal cover for my bomb shelter. My contractor disposed the cover when he did the reno and is uncontactable ever since....

    Thanks :)

    is it the inner cover or outer cover?

    i rem i saw from HDB showroom..

    they put a clock at the 'hole' position of the bomb shelter..
