Makes 24
Ingredients:
225g soft butter/margarine
1 cup caster sugar
4 extra large eggs
2 cups self-raising flour

Method:
Line 2 muffin trays with 24 cupcake cases.

Add all the ingredients in a large bowl and, using an electric hand whisk, beat together until just smooth. The mixture will be fairly stiff. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases.

Bake the cupcakes in a pre-heated oven at 170°C for 15-20 minutes or until well risen, golden brown and firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Buttercream Frosting:
175g soft butter
350g icing sugar
Food colouring
A variety of edible sugar flower shapes, cake decorating sprinkles, etc…

Method:                                          Whisk the butter until smooth and creamy. Sift in the icing sugar and mix until combined Add a drop of milk if the mixture is too stiff. When the cupcakes are cold, spread or pipe a little frosting on top of each cupcake, then decorate to your choice.

Cook’s Tips:
For best results use all ingredients at room temperature. Here’s more tips to bake the perfect cupcake

Add 1 teaspoon vanilla essence for extra flavour.
