How to Make Cupcakes From Scratch

Is there anyone who doesn't love a cupcake? These scrumptious little morsels are just right for any occasion from children's birthday parties to elegant high teas, engagement parties and weddings. The great thing about cupcakes is that they are so easy, anyone can make them. The techniques are simple and only require basic kitchen equipment. Once you have mastered the basics of cupcake making, you can add other ingredients and flavourings to create different variations.


The ingredients you will need are:


160g (5 1/2 oz) butter, chopped, at room temperature 3/4 cup caster sugar 2 teaspoon vanilla essence 3 eggs 1 1/3 cups self-raising flour, sifted 2 tablespoons milk


Start by beating together the butter and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This should be done by an electric mixer until the mixture lightens in colour. Add the vanilla essence and the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.


Remove the bowl from the mixer and gradually add the sifted flour alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Carefully fold the flour into the mixture with a metal spoon, taking care to avoid over mixing. The mixture should be just smooth.


Spoon the mixture into the paper cupcake cases. To ensure the cases retain their shape place them into muffin tins. If you wish to decorate your cupcakes afterwards, only three quarters fill the cupcake cases.


The cupcakes should then be baked in a pre-heated oven at 160oC (315oF) for 15-20 minutes. For best results do not open the oven door during cooking to ensure they rise well. The cupcakes are cooked when lightly browned and spring back when touched with a finger. Remove from oven, place on wire racks and allow to cool completely.


Now it's time to ice and decorate your cupcakes and you are only limited by your own imagination.
