I've made them late in the evening,i just had to bake them.
Here you see the recipe and a video of it about the cupcakes i've made.
It was verry easy to do.
But i don't understand something,or maybe it's just me.
In the recipe they say 3/4 cup of flower and the same amount of sugar and she says it also.
And she is filling a cup all to the end.
But my measuringcups(Specially bought for it)doesn't have 3/4cup.
I only have 1 cup or 1/2 cup or smaller.
I've searche on the net but don't find something about 3/4cup.
Or is that only in the US??

Note:Forgot the place the link.

Well, I know the set of measuring cups that I have (Tupperware ones) go from 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup and 1 cup in sizes. Don't know if that's just a US thing or not!

Soon Han,

If you need 3/4th cup of something, use your 1/2 cup measure, and plus your 1/4th cup measure. That will give you the 3/4th cup you need.

Yes i know that.
But cause the girl was filling her cup to the end i was confused and didn't was sure if i understand i correct and was wondering if you in the US had different cups,
