Vanilla cupcakes with frosting
(1)
30 min
Quick and easy vanilla cupcakes. You can add any topping or filling. I used muffin cases so the buns were bigger, and this recipe made 5. I used jam in the middle, too, and even a cheeky Flake® bar on top. I used a knife to decorate the cupcakes, and I added quite bit of top so it looked like a whipped ice cream and added some sprinkles! If you have loads of frosting left, you can keep it in a container in the fridge for up to a week.

- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Line muffin cases or bun cases in a tin.
- Whisk the eggs and caster sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in the butter, then fold in the self-raising flour slowly. Pour the mixture into cases, filling just over halfway.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Leave to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes, scoop out bit of the middle, add bit of jam and place sponge back on top.
- Make the vanilla frosting: add the milk and plain flour in a saucepan, bring to the boil, stir until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and leave to cool completely.
- Add butter, icing sugar and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Spread over the cooled cupcakes.
