Easy Cupcake Recipe

By Janet Littlehales


Cupcakes are now really popular. They are used for many occassions, not just purchased out for a child's birthday party. You can get them at most cafes; there are also a lot of shops that sell nothing other than 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 usual spread)

Half cup Castor Sugar (or other white sugar)

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

2 Eggs

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour

Approximately one-third 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. Continuously add the milk and mix for the final time. Do not make the blend too runny (see handy hints below).

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

7. Cook in a pre heated moderate oven for 10-15 minutes (keep a watch 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 Recommendations.

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

Make sure you allow the cupcakes to cool down totally prior to decorating, otherwise the topping, cream, or whatever you like to use, will melt.

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

They're ideal for school sandwich boxes.

If you would like to make larger cupcakes, utilize a muffin tray and muffin sized paper cases. They're going to take longer to cook naturally.

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.
