'Spread Cup Cake Magic'


Basic Recipe

(Makes between 12-24 depending on the size of your paper cases)

 

200 grams Butter – at room temperature

1 cup Caster Sugar

3 Eggs – whisked

2 ½ cups Self Raising Flour – sifted 3 times

1 teaspoon PURE Vanilla Essence

½ cup whole milk

Preheat oven to 180c (Fan forced take down to 160c).  Prepare muffin tray or mini muffin tray by lining with paper cases.

With a hand held electric beater, whisk butter, sugar and vanilla essence in a mixing bowl until light, creamy and very fluffy.

Now add beaten eggs a little at a time with a little of the sifted flour until eggs are combined well.  Add the milk and the rest of the flour, mixing until a smooth, well combined mixture.

Add mixture to the paper cases, for larger cases I find 2 level tablespoons of mixture will suffice and for smaller cases 1 tablespoon, however, you will need to judge for yourself. 

Bake in oven for 15 minutes for larger cases and about 10 minutes for smaller ones.  However, PLEASE keep an eye on them so they do not burn.

Stand to cool for approx 5 minutes then transfer to a large wire rack to completely cool.
