CLASSIC VANILLA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Cupcakes
• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In separate bowl and using electric mixer, beat butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, incorporating each one fully before adding the next one; beat in vanilla.
• With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture in 3 parts alternately with milk in 2 parts, starting and ending with flour mixture, and scraping bowl as needed between additions.
• Spoon or scoop batter into prepared muffin cups, about two-thirds full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until tester comes out clean when inserted into centre of cupcakes. Let cool completely on rack.
• Frosting
• Beat butter until light and fluffy. With mixer on low speed, beat in icing sugar, cream, vanilla and salt until smooth, adding up to 2 tbsp (30 mL) more cream if needed. Increase speed to high; beat for 1 to 2 minutes or until frosting is light and fluffy.
• Add frosting to piping bag fitted with round tip; pipe over cupcakes. Alternatively, spoon frosting into resealable bag and clip off one corner to pipe over cupcakes, or spoon onto cupcakes.

• Preheat oven to 338 degrees.
• Place the first 4 ingredients into a mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment.

• Put mixer on low speed and add cream and vanilla.
• Return mixer to medium for 30 seconds.
• Scoop into prepared cupcake tin and bake for 20-22 minutes.

• Room temperature butter is between 67 and 68 degrees. I check mine with an instant read thermometer.

VANILLA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and mix into the butter mixture along with the vanilla extract.
• Fold in the flour, adding a little milk until the mixture is of a dropping consistency. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until they are three quarters full.
• Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into one of the cakes comes out clean. Set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes. Then place on a wire rack.
• For the buttercream icing, beat the butter until soft. Add half the icing sugar and beat until smooth.
• Add the remaining icing sugar with 1 tbsp milk, adding more milk if necessary, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add food colouring (optional) and mix well.
• Spoon the buttercream into a piping bag and add a nozzle of your choice. Pipe in a swirl motion and then enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, a pinch of salt and the butter in a free-standing electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a handheld electric whisk). Beat on a slow speed until you get a sandy consistency and everything is combined.
• Whisk the milk, egg and vanilla extract together in a jug, then slowly pour about half into the flour mixture. Beat to combine and turn the mixer up to high speed, scraping any mixture from the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Pour in the remaining liquid and continue mixing for a couple more minutes until the mixture is smooth. Do not overmix.
• Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until approximately two-thirds full. Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sponge bounces back when touched and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Leave the cupcakes to cool slightly in the tray before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, make chocolate buttercream or plain buttercream and spread it over the cakes with a palette knife, or use a piping bag. Scatter over chocolate vermicelli, if you like.
