Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 egg whites
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C). Line 10 muffin cups with foil or paper liners.
- In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the sugar, butter and vanilla on high speed for about 2 minutes, or until well mixed. Add the egg whites, one at a time, beating for about a minute after each one. Now add the flour mixture alternately with the yogurt, in about 3 portions each, beating after each addition just until combined, and scraping down the sides to make sure everything is well mixed.
- Pour batter into the prepared cupcake pan and place in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned on top and a toothpick poked into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Let cool completely on a rack.
- To assemble the Cupcake menorah, frost all the cupcakes with your choice of icing and decorate in any way your heart desires. Place 9 cupcakes in a row on a platter or foil-covered cardboard base. Raise the middle cupcake up higher than the others - the "shamash" or leader. Stick candles into each of the 9 positions. When it's time to light the candles - enjoy the flickering flames while you eat dinner, then eat the menorah for dessert!
