Few things to remember for the ingredients:

• Maida/Refined flour

Make sure that the refined flour/maida is sifted(passed through the sieve) before use preferably with other dry ingredients as mentioned in the method. Sifting the flour is an important step especially for an eggless recipe to make it more lighter and our cupcakes will be more fluffy and soft in texture. Moreover, as mentioned above, always sift the flour with other dry ingredients so that all the ingredients are mixed properly.

• Baking powder  

Baking powder is the rising agent for cakes and is the most important ingredient. So always check the expiry date of baking powder before use. Moreover if baking powder is not stored in an air tight container it will lose its properties. Check by adding a pinch of baking powder in half a cup of water, if bubbles are formed then you can use it.

• Oil

Most of the cakes are made using butter, ,mainly unsalted butter. But oil based cakes and cupcakes are also pretty much liked and are easy to make. Use any refined oil which means that it is light in color and has negligible amount of aroma because of which the cupcakes will preserve its taste. 

• Vanilla Essence

Use a good quality brand of essence as essence is the only which gives the cupcakes it flavor and so the name. 

• Sugar & milk powder

My recipe uses milk powder along with sugar as a sweetener. Milk powder not only gives sweetness to the cupcakes but also adds a nice texture and flavor. This recipe mentions 1/2 cup of mixture of powdered sugar and milk powder so take it in equal proportion. Approximately it comes to 3 to 4 tbsp each.
