Take your cupcakes to the next level with our delicious vanilla cupcake recipe.
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan 150°C, gas mark 3). Line a muffin tray with 10-12 paper cases.
Step 2:
Beat together the butter and sugar, then add in the eggs one at a time mixing between each addition. Add the vanilla extract.
Step 3:
Carefully fold in the flour until just incorporated.
Step 4:
Spoon the mixture into the paper cases and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden on top. Insert the tip of a knife into the cases to check that they are baked throughout. If they are ready the knife should be clean when removed from the sponge.
Step 5:
Allow to cool on a rack.
Step 6:
To make the icing, add a few drops of water to the icing sugar until the consistency becomes smooth and glossy. Add more water if needed, or if the icing becomes too runny add a touch more icing sugar to thicken.
Step 7:
Spoon the icing on to each cake and decorate with a handful of coloured sprinkles.
It went good but it looked like a mountain but it was delicious 😋
This is by far the best website I have ever used and I have been cooking for 3 years. It is so clear and easy to use and I just love how you can switch between metric and imperial measurements. KEEP IT UP!
They were amazing highly recommended I am ten and it was my first time making them so easy and yummy🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Immaculate taste and the icing was just right for the cakes. They were much fluffier than i expected!
Brilliant!!
Baked them with my 9 year old and we were delighted with the result. Looked like they were bought from a shop and tasted fab.. 👍👍👍
