Cupcakes? Did Someone Say Cupcakes!?

CUPCAKES!!! My all time favourite thing to bake, I mean you doesn't love a good cupcake now and then? I always always use this recipe I have used it now for 6 years and it has never ever let me down, so if you want a easy peasy cupcake recipe then you're in the right place and here it is....


COLOURFUL!! :)



Makes 12

What You Will Need-

  • Baking tin
  • Cupcake cases
  • 125g Self raising flour
  • 125g Caster sugar
  • 125 Softened butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla essence


What Do I Do?
  • Preheat the oven to 180c.
  • Cream the butter and caster sugar together until it's light and fluffy.
  • Whisk the eggs and vanilla essence together. Then add to the mixture and mix together until it's blended evenly.
  • Sieve the self raising flour into the mixture and mix together until the mixture is smooth. Make sure you get air into the cake mixture but whisking it as this will make your cake rise. 
  • Spoon the mixture evenly into the cases and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a fork is clean after being poked into the cake. If the fork has cake mixture on put the cakes back into the oven. Allow the cakes to cool before decorating. 




I decorated mine with chocolate icing from Dr. Oetker and just added some decorations but you can decorate yours anyway you like or leave them plain it's up to you. I feel with a cupcake you can really put your own twist on it. I hope you enjoyed baking these and leave comments below to let me know what you think of the recipe.
