Make delicious fluffy vanilla cupcakes in 5 easy steps
Ingredients
Cupcake batter
200g salted butter, softened
370g caster sugar
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
4 eggs
405g of self-raising flower
1 cup (250ml) milk
Frosting
200g unsalted butter
6 cups (900g) soft icing mix
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 24 1/3 cup (80ml) muffin pans with patty
cases.
Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla bean paste with an electric
mixer. Add the eggs, one at a time and beat until just combined. Add
the flour and milk in alternate batches and stir with a wooden spoon
until just combined.
Spoon mixture evenly among the patty cases. Bake for 15-20 minutes
or until cooked through. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire
rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, use an electric mixer to beat the butter until
very pale. Gradually add the icing sugar while beating. Add the milk
and beat until well combined.
Use a small palette knife or round-bladed knife to spread the icing
