So I came across this recipe in a baking book that I got for Christmas...I'm not sure what I did but they definitely didn't come out as the Vanilla cupcakes the recipe stated they would be, I also decided to put my own spin on them by adding a strawberry for decoration.
To make 20 cupcakes
Ingredients for Cupcakes
250g Plain Flour
2 1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 pinch Salt
6 Eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla essence
1 teaspoon finely grated Orange Zest
250g Unsalted Butter
225g Caster Sugar
Ingredients for Icing
150g Unsalted Butter
275g Icing Sugar
1 Tablespoons of milk
2 drops of vanilla essence
Decoration
10 strawberries
1 Bar of Chocolate
1- Preheat the oven to 160C/Gas 2-3
2- Combine the Flour, Baking Powder and salt and put to one side
3- Beat together the eggs, vanilla essence and zest until light and fluffy again, putting to onesie
4- In your main mixing bowl cream together the butter and the sugar then alternately add the flour mix and the egg mix whilst mixing them all in
5- Place 20 muffin cases into a tray and divide the mix up evenly between them before cooking for 20-25 minutes
Once cooled...
