Description
Make these pretty cupcakes for a spring birthday party treat.
Method
Step 1 of 5
Preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas 4). Place the butter and sugar in a bowl and use an electric hand-held whisk to beat them until light and fluffy. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Step 2 of 5
Sift together the flour and baking powder. Whisk the flour mixture and the milk into the batter alternately. Place 12 cupcake cases in a deep 12-hole muffin tin (this will help them keep their shape).
Step 3 of 5
Spoon the cake batter into the cases, filling each two-thirds full. Bake for 16-18 minutes until springy to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Step 4 of 5
To make the buttercream, beat the butter, icing sugar, and food colouring until smooth and creamy.
Step 5 of 5
When the cakes are cold, cover them in buttercream, using the back of a spoon dipped in warm water to smooth the surface. Decorate with ready-made sugar flowers, or cut your own using ready-made coloured royal icing.
