Cupcake Recipe

120g plain flour
140g caster sugar
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
A pinch of salt
40g unsalted butter, room temperature
120ml whole milk
1 egg
0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
(Preheat oven at 170degrees celcious)

Put the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter in the mixer and beat until sand consistency. Then whisk the egg, vanilla extract and milk together and add to the other mixture. Continue mixing until smooth and all the lumps are gone. Pour the mixture into the bun cases, and put in the oven for 20-25 minutes. When you remove the cupcakes from the oven allow them to cool in the tin, and then remove them onto a baking rack.

Frosting

250g icing sugar sifted
80g unsalted butter, room temp
25ml whole milk
A couple of drops of vanilla extract
cake die/colouring (optional)

Beat together the icing sugar and the butter at medium speed. Then add the milk and the vanilla extract and turn the mixer on high. Beat for about 5 minutes as the longer the better, as the mixture will be fluffier. Add the colouring, I chose red, and a drop or two will turn the icing pink. You can ice the cupcakes with a knife and then if you fancy a more decorative look you can add cake decorations. I choose pearls scattered on the top of my cupcakes, then all thats left to do is sit back and enjoy a cupcake. But remember sharing is caring! :) Lol
