Ingredients

Cakes:

100g self-raising flour

Did you know…?

The word vanilla comes from the Spanish vainilla which means ‘little sheath’.

Method

Pre-heat the oven and prepare a baking tray using paper cupcake cases of your choice.
Cream the sugar and softened butter together in a bowl.
Sift the flour into the mix, then add the eggs and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
Divide the mix evenly into the paper cases and bake for around 20 mins, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
Prepare the icing by mixing the butter, icing sugar and vanilla paste together.
When the cakes have cooled completely, use a piping bag or simply a knife to top the cakes with the butter icing. You can add extra decorations if you wish.
