FAST VANILLA CUPCAKES

Makes 12

A simple recipe to top with icing and decorations. Vary the flavour at your fancy.....

  • 4oz/115g butter, at room temperature
  • 4oz/115g caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • half tsp vanilla extract
  • 4oz/115g self-raising flour

    Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/gas mark 3. Line a 12-hole cupcake tin with paper cases.

    In the food processor or a tabletop mixer, beat the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth.

    Turn off the motor and add the flour. With the pulse button, or brief bursts of the beater, mix the flour in, stopping as soon as it is blended.

    Divide the mixture between the paper cases.

    Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and springy to the touch.

    • Happy Cooking!!!
