These classic decorated cupcakes are ideal for birthdays, weddings and parties of all kinds. Ideal for children young and old.
Ingredients:
125g unsalted butter, softened
125g caster sugar
125g self-raising flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping:
250g icing sugar
silver balls and sugar shapes, to decorate
12 candles (1 for each cupcake)
Method:
Combine the butter, sugar, flour, eggs and vanilla extract in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until smooth and creamy.
Line the wells of a 12-hole muffin tin with silicone or paper cupcake cases then divide the cake batter between them, filling them no more than 2/3 full. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C (350°F, Gas Mark 4) and bake for between 15 and 20 minutes, or until golden brown, well risen and springy to the touch. Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the icing, beat the icing sugar with enough hot water to create a smooth, spreadable, icing. Spread this over the cupcakes and decorate with silver balls and sugar shapes, pressing into the icing before it sets.
Decorate each cupcake with a candle and light these immediately prior to serving.
