Hi Everyone!
Its been a while since I've blogged a recipe but I'm back now!
So I use to hate making cupcakes.. for some reason they always came out to dense or dry or to risen and never perfect. So i made my own recipe and they are the best cupcakes ever! They never flop always rise just enough and are so light and fluffy! And well the icing .... Soooo light and fluffy. Give it a go guys... below is my recipe, ENJOY!
Ingredients:
150g Butter softened
1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
1 1/2 Cups Flour
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Sugar
1 Egg
1 Cup Whole Milk
Directions:
Cream the Butter an Sugar until light and fluffy, add Egg and Vanilla then mix. Sift in the Flour and Baking Powder into the Mixture then Milk and Mix till well combined. If the mixture looks like its slightly splitting add 1 Tbs Flour and Mix, if its to thick add a dash of Milk. Use a heaped tablespoon to fill each case about 1 1/2 cm under the top of the cases. Bake in an oven for 15- 20 mins at 180 DegC or untill they bounce back when pressed or knife comes out clean.
Icing:
Cream Butter and Icing Sugar till light and fluffy. Add 2 tsp of Vanilla, 3 drops of Yellow Food colouring and 1 12tsp of lemon Essence, mix well! Spoon into a glad bag, cut the corner and pipe in spirals onto each cupcake. Sprinkle Strawberry Jelly Crystals ontop.
Enjoy!
