On Sunday, I held a high tea/party lite candle party shindig at my place. For the occassion I made cupcakes and a few people have asked for my recipe. Again it is a Nigella recipe (thank you Nigella, you really are a domestic goddess) and it is easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Ingredigents (makes 12)
125g SR flour
125g castor sugar
125g room temp butter, diced
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
Cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add SR and stir until combined. Add eggs one at a time and combine after each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix to combine. Divide batter among 12 cup cake cases. Bake at 180 degrees celcius for 12 minutes or until cupcakes are golden.
Once cooked, allow to cool completely before icing. Here is a great vanilla butter cream icing recipe:
Ingredients
180g room temp butter
2 cups icing sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
mix all ingredients together until fluffy.
