Cupcakes:
Ingredients:
Butter 175gm
Flour 175gm
Caster sugar 175gm
Baking powder 1 tsp
Eggs 3
Vanilla essence ½ tsp
For Icing:
Butter 175gm
Vanilla essence ½ tsp
Milk 2-3 tbsp
Icing sugar 350gm
Pink food color few drops
Pink hearts/sprinkles for decoration
Method:
Put all the cake ingredients into a large bowl and beat until smooth. Divide the mixture evenly between the paper cases. Bake at 180 degrees C for 20-25 minutes, or until the cakes are well risen and firm on top. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Make the icing: put the butter, vanilla essence, two tablespoons milk, half the icing sugar in a bowl and beat until smooth. Beat in the remaining icing sugar, and pour in the rest of the milk if needed to make the icing the right consistency. Put half of the icing into another bowl and color it pale pink. Carefully spoon this down one side of a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle, then spoon the non-colored icing down the other side of the bag. Twist the end of the bag to seal the icing in. Pipe swirls of the icing on top of each cupcake. Scatter with the edible pink hearts, or sprinkles, to decorate.
