Hey guys there's nothing better than a traditional cupcake made with vanilla buttercream, they look delightful and taste gorgeous and are a great place to start if you want to bake something quick and easy! This is my personal recipe which I use every time!
Ingredients
100g Self Raising Flour
100g Butter
100g Caster Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp of vanilla essence
1 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of milk
For the Icing
50g of butter
150g of icing sugar
1 tsp of vanilla essence
Method
1. Start by preheating the oven to 160 degrees C and lining a cupcake tray with cases.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together, before adding the eggs one at a time and beating them in.
3. Fold in the flour and baking powder.
4. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until you have a smooth and thick mixture.
5. Divide the mixture into cupcake cases.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
7. For the icing gradually beat the icing sugar into the butter and add milk, tasting is the best way in my opinion to know when the consistency between ingredients is correct.
8. Once the cakes are cooled completely, ice away and decorate how you wish!
