Vanilla Cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/gas mark 3. Line a 12-hole cupcake pan with paper cases. I find this recipe makes 8 large cupcakes (muffin size paper cases)
Using a food processor or wooden spoon cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the eggs with a little flour and beat until all the flour is added and mixture is smooth.
Fill the paper cases half way to two thirds full with the cake mixture.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and springy to the touch.
Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Buttercream Icing
Beat the butter in a bowl until light and fluffy.
Stir in the icing sugar, milk and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add food colouring to colour the icing.
Pipe onto the cupcakes and decorate with sprinkles/edible glitter etc and Enjoy :o)
