Fun Cupcake Recipe

By Janet Littlehales


Cupcakes have become extremely popular. No longer are they just brought out for a child's party. They are available at most coffee outlets; there are many shops that sell nothing apart from cupcakes.

Small individual cakes starting to become well-liked at weddings, where each guest has one. They're extraordinarily quick and simple to make and preparation time is around ten minutes. This recipe will make around 20 cupcakes. To keep things easy it is best to utilize a cup measure. The cup should hold roughly 250 ml/8fl oz of fluid.

Ingredients

125 g/4 1/2 oz butter (or common spread)

Half cup Castor Sugar (or other white sugar)

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

2 Eggs

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour

Roughly 1/3 cup of milk

2 cake baking trays

Cake paper cases - about 20

Instructions.

1. Assemble the mixer.

2. Mix together the butter, sugar and vanilla extract until creamy smooth.

3. Add the 2 eggs and mix again.

4. Add the flour and mix some more.

5. Steadily add the milk and mix for the final time. Don't make the mixture too runny (see the handy hints below).

6. Put the paper cases in the baking trays and fill each and every one with a good heaped cereal spoon of the mix.

7. Cook in a pre heated moderate cooker for 10-15 minutes (keep an eye on them because they cook quickly).

8. Once the cupcakes have risen and look golden brown they're cooked. Take them out from tray and place every one on a wire rack to cool down totally.

Handy Hints and Ideas.

The consistency is about right when the mix slowly falls off the spoon. If it just stays there it's likely a bit thick, so add some more milk. If it runs off it's definitely too thin, so add a bit moreflour.

Ensure you permit the cupcakes to cool completely before decorating, or the icing, cream, or whatever you use, will liquify.

Once cool, cupcakes freeze well in a sealed container or freezer bag.

They're ideal for school sandwich boxes.

If you need to make bigger cupcakes, use a muffin tray and muffin sized paper cases. They will take longer to cook of course.

Make smaller cupcakes by putting less mix in each paper case. Mini cupcakes are fun for children and a way for adults to indulge with less guilt. Keep a watch on them in the cooker as smaller ones will cook fast.
