Method

Step 1 of 2

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line the patty tin with parchment cupcake cases. Place the butter and sugar in a bowl, and whisk with an electric hand whisk or mixer until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding a little of the flour after you add each one. Add the vanilla extract and then the rest of the flour, and mix until smooth and combined - the mixture should drop easily off the beaters. If it doesn’t, stir in the milk. Divide the mixture among the parchment cases using two teaspoons. Bake for 20 minutes, or until risen, golden, and firm to the touch. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool.

Step 2 of 2

To make the icing, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder (if using), into a bowl, add the butter and the vanilla extract, and whisk with an electric hand whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy. Ice the cupcakes, giving the top of each one a swirly design. Scatter over the chocolate shavings, if using.
