Cupcake Recipe

My tried and tested cupcake recipe:

This recipe makes 3 dozen regular cupcakes or 2 dozen muffin sized cupcakes.

You will need:

250g soft butter
1.5 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1.5 cups of milk
4 cups of self raising flour

Get the electric mixer out of the cupboard and make yourself a coffee. Drink it while the butter and sugar are being whipped into soft, creamy goodness.
Drop the mixer back a few gears and add the eggs one at a time.
Throttle the mixer right back to low and add 1 cup of the flour. If you don't do this you will be shrouded in a soft, white cloud of flour and your batter will be tough. After it's mixed in, pour in 0.5 cup of milk and let it mix in. Keep alternating the flour and milk until everything is mixed in.
Fill some patty papers about 2/3 full and bake for about 15 mins at 180 deg C.

Make another coffee to enjoy with your freshly baked cupcakes. If your cupcakes survive long enough to cool down, you can ice them. Enjoy.
