♨️ Method — Vanilla Cupcake Recipe

Make the vanilla cupcakes

✅  Preheat the oven to 180°C (Electric oven | Electric fan oven 160°C | Gas Mark 4) and place 12 paper cases into a muffin tin.

✅  Using an electric whisk, food processor or wooden spoon, beat the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy.
✅  Add the eggs one at a time, beating each one in well before adding the next. Add the vanilla essence.
✅  Carefully fold in the flour (and baking powder if using).
✅  Alternatively, you can mix the ingredients together using a food processor. Use the pulse button to mix together in between adding the ingredients in the order above.
✅  Bake in the oven for 10 - 20 minutes. After 10 minutes, check to see if the vanilla cupcakes are ready by inserting a cocktail stick into one of the cupcakes. If it comes out dry then the cupcakes are done. If not, then back in the oven for a few minutes more. Don't overcook the cupcakes otherwise, they will dry out. Lift the vanilla cupcakes out of the muffin tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.

Make the vanilla butter icing

✅  Using an electric whisk, food processor or wooden spoon, beat the butter until very soft.
✅  Gradually add the icing sugar and a few drops of vanilla essence and beat into the butter until you have a smooth paste. When the cakes are cool, drizzle some vanilla icing mixture over the top. These cupcakes are best eaten on the day they are made.
