A Quick and Easy Cupcake Recipe

A Quick and Easy Cupcake Recipe Cupcakes are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They can make an event feel extra special, they can provide for a wonderful baking experience if one takes some additional time to really find some unique refined ingredients, and they can even be something one adds to the list of hobbies he or she enjoys doing alone or with others. Cupcakes can be made anytime of the day for any event. They are always welcome additions.

In addition cupcakes are great desserts because they can be made in such a great variety of ways. One batch of eight to twelve cupcakes baked in one fell swoop can be decorated in such an individualistic manner that one might think they were made in completely separate batches. Because so many can be made in one batch, one person can decorate all the cupcakes or several people can work away at putting the final touches on these wonderful treats! Furthermore, because of the vast array of recipe options for cupcakes, one can essentially never make the same cupcake twice if one so desired too! And, across the board, from children to the elderly, cupcakes are loved. Children rush to gobble them down and the older folks' eyes tend to light up when a freshly made tray is brought home or completed in their kitchens. They can be a fun, easy dessert to make, travel with, and clean-up after. Or for the more seasoned cook, they can be an extravagant project that one takes special time and care with to create a masterpiece he or she can be proud of; one that will continue to impress others for years to come! Cupcakes awaken one's cooking and creative senses and skills and make for fun projects that one will never tire of. Essentially, one can keep creating more and more recipes and still never come up with all the possible combinations! So have fun and enjoy! To make 12 normal size cupcakes cream 200 grams of softened butter with 200 grams of fine sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Gradually beat in 4 eggs, and then fold in 200 grams of self raising flour, along with a dash of milk if needed. Spoon the mixture into paper cases in a muffin pan, and bake for 15 to 25 minutes at approx 350 degrees, or until they are risen and firm to touch. Leave to cool on a wire rack and then ice with your favorite frosting, or drizzle with jam. A Quick and Easy Cupcake Recipe

Easy Cupcake Recipes For Kids

As last week was National Cupcake Week (yes there really is such a thing!), and Friday brings Macmillan coffee mornings all over the country, we thought we'd share our favourite cupcake recipe with you. Perfect for parties or tea-time treats, these delicious buns are so quick and simple to make that children will also love to get involved in baking them.

To make 12, you will need:

Easy Cookie Recipes For Kids

125g softened butter
125g caster sugar
2 large eggs
125g self-raising flour
Teaspoon vanilla extract
Approximately 2 tablespoons milk
12 bun tray lined with cupcake cases

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees/180 degrees (fan oven)/gas mark 6.

Put all of the ingredients, except for the milk, into a large bowl and mix until smooth with an electric hand mixer (or if you don't have an electric hand mixer, you can use a food processor). Add the milk slowly until the mixture is a soft dropping consistency.

Spoon the mixture into the 12 bun cases and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until the cakes are golden on top and a cake tester comes out clean.

Remove from the tin and allow to cool on a wire cooling rack.

Although these cakes are delicious enough to eat plain, they look gorgeous when iced. To make a basic butter-cream icing, you will need:

75 g softened butter
150g icing sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large bowl, cream the butter until it is smooth, then gradually sift in the icing sugar, mixing as you go. Add the milk and vanilla extract and mix again until you have a light and creamy icing. Spoon or pipe onto your cooled cupcakes and adorn with silver balls, sprinkles, sweets or sugar decorations.

Enjoy!
