Easter and Christmas are the ultimate food celebrations. Of course you are always brought so much chocolate for easter so for my easter cupcakes I thought that I would make them vanilla and butter cream rather than the traditional chocolate. Following a simple vanilla cupcake recipe and then decorating them with butter cream icing and wafer bunnies.
My recipe for any of you wanting to make your own vanilla cakes is:
Ingredients-
- 110g butter
- 110g caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1tsp of vanilla essence
- 110g self raising flour
- 1-2tbsp of milk
Method-
- Preheat the oven to 180c and lay out your cake cases in a 12 hole muffin tin.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl till pale and beat the eggs in one at a time.
- Fold in the flour using a spatula adding the milk until the mixture is smooth and a dropping consistency.
- Spoon the mixture into the cases evenly and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until you can place a skewer in the middle and the mixture is cooked.
The cakes turned out perfect if anything they were a little too big. However you would be able to solve this by putting less mixture in each case and making more cakes. They were the right consistency of vanilla and a perfect flavour. Being so moist already the butter cream icing complimented them straight away.
Have you made any cakes recently? Will you be trying my recipe?
Lots of love,
