On week three of baking club we made some tasty cupcakes! We have included the recipe and steps so that you can make them at home!
Recipe:
100g caster sugar
100g very soft butter
100g self-raising flour
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Steps
1. Turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a paper case in hole of a 12-hole bun tin.
2. Put the sugar and butter (it must be soft or you won’t be able to mix it properly) in a bowl and mix it together. Sift in the flour.
3. Break the eggs into a separate bowl (spoon out any bits of shell that fall in) and add them to the bowl with the vanilla. Mix everything together.
4. Divide between the cases using a spoon, scraping it off with a knife. Put the tray in the oven for 20 minutes.
5. Mix the butter and icing sugar to make a creamy icing. Add colouring, if you like. Push an icing nozzle into an icing bag, then scoop in the icing.
6. Let the cakes cool completely in the tray. Pipe icing onto each cake and decorate with marshmallows or sprinkles, or whatever you like.
