I am baking all the time at the moment, its nice to have that back, my only problem is that I keep baking the same thing (mostly the flapjack from my last recipe) so I need to keep thinking up new things to try, in fact this week I have a very exciting bake for my daughters 4th birthday, it is something I have never tried before so I hope it works and I can share it here! But for now a recipe I am loving and has also been made several times over the past few weeks Vanilla Cupcakes with Lemon Icing and Sprinkles!
Ingredients
- 140g of Butter
- 140g of Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1tsp of Vanilla Essence
- 130g of Flour
- 10g of Baking Powder
- 150g of Icing Sugar
- 3 tbsp of Lemon Juice
- Cold Water (2-3tbsp)
- Sprinkles
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170c
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl
- Add the eggs and vanilla essence and whisk until smooth
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder whilst folding the mixture together gently
- Pour equally into 12 cupcake cases
- Bake for 14-16 minutes
- Allow to cool
- Once cool make the icing by sieving the icing sugar into the bowl
- Add the lemon juice and mix
- Then add the cold water little by little until you have a thick but smooth icing
- Ice the cupcakes and add the sprinkle
- Refridgerate for 15 minutes so the icing sets
- Enjoy!
These are delicious so I recommend them highly, they also look great for a party or gathering and last for a few days so basically there is no reason not to right?
