Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven at 180C and line up paper cases in your cupcake or muffin pan. If you do not wish to use paper cases, make sure to grease your pan with butter.
- With an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl. You want a fluffy batter. Add the eggs, one by one, beating after each addition. Add in half of the flour and mix with a large spoon. Add and mix the milk and the remaining flour.
- Now the tricky part. Use a tablespoon to fill in the paper cases. You need 2 spoonful of batter per case. (fill each case 3/4 full). Bake for 15-20 minutes. Be careful as these cupcakes bake faster than a large cake.
- Once your cupcakes are ready, transfer them to a cooling rack.
