Directions
Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line 18 muffin holes with paper cases.

Step 2

Place butter, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until well incorporated.

Step 3

Fold in the flour, baking powder and milk alternately, mixing until batter is smooth. Spoon between paper cases and bake for 18-20 minutes. Allow to cool before frosting.

Step 4

To make the frosting, beat the butter with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla, sugar and milk and beat until smooth. Add a little more sugar or milk a drop at a time to adjust the consistency. Pipe or spread onto cupcakes.
