Vanilla Cupcakes!

Hello guys, today I have for you today is my Vanilla Cupcake Recipe, these are what they should look like and they are very tasty. Sorry for how bad quality some of the pictures are, half way during taking photos for this post,my camera died so I had to use my phone. Enjoy!

Here are the ingredients you will need and you can convert the measurements into whatever you want. These ingredients make 24 cupcakes.

Ingredients: 

8 ounces self raising flour

8 ounces caster sugar

8 ounces margarine/unsalted butter

4 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

To make the icing:
500 grams icing sugar

110g margarine

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

30ml boiling water

1/2 teaspoon of any type of food colouring you want

any decoration you may or may not want

Method: Preheat the oven to 160 degrees celcius

1. First of all you have to cream together the margarine and caster sugar until its light and fluffy.

2. Add the 4 eggs and the vanilla extract, and mix together until its quite liquidy. 

3. Add the flour bits at a time and mix it all together until it forms into a nice creamy mixture. 

4. Scoop the mixture into each individual cupcake case and only fill half of the cupcake case.

5. Put in the oven for 25-30 minutes and then leave to cool for 25 minutes.

6. Whilst you are waiting for the cupcakes to cool, make the icing.

7. Measure out the icing sugar, margarine and vanilla extract and put into a bowl. 

8. Measure out the boiling water, and please BE CAREFUL.

9.  Pour it into the bowl with the sugar, margarine and vanilla extract, and you will need an electric mixer to mix it all together, and there is a good chance your kitchen will get messy.

10. If your icing isn't thick enough then add more icing sugar. 

11. Pipe your icing onto the cupcake and decorate them with whatever you want. I used white chocolate chunks.

That should be everything, I hope you enjoyed this post and making these cupcakes!
