Directions
Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 12 x 1/3 cup capacity muffin tin with cupcake patties.

Step 2

Using an electric mixer on medium setting, mix all cupcake ingredients except the milk. Gradually add the milk and mix just until smooth.

Step 3

Divide the mixture across the 12 cupcake patties. A generous tablespoon should be sufficient. The mixture should triple in size once baked.

Step 4

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cake skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Step 5

TO MAKE BUTTER CREAM ICING:rnBeat butter and icing sugar using an electric mixer. Beat in vanilla essence and milk until smooth, adding extra milk or icing sugar if necessary. Use a piping bag to decorate swirls onto cooled cupcakes or use a spatula to slather generously over each cupcake.

Tips

  • Lemon Cupcakes: Add 2 tsp of finely ground lemon rind at step 2.
  • Chocolate Cupcakes: Add 2 tbs of cocoa at step 2.
  • Chocolate Icing: Melt 90g of dark chocolate and 30g unsalted butter in a bowl sitting over a pot of gently simmering water. Stir until melted, then add 1 cup icing sugar and 2 tbs of hot water. Mix well.
