I have joined the Cupcake Revolution!


Cupcakes are making a comeback. Mmmm, hope Cream Buns are next, lol.


So I tried this yummy recipe posted on Nappycino by Lesley from Cherubs Kiss.

Wow so easy & they taste amazing!


Preheat oven to 180 deg.
You can use Muffin pans (20min baking time) Cupcake pans 15min, or mini's about 10min.
In a medium sized bowl:
150 softened butter - room temp
3/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 cups SR flour
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
dash of vanilla extract
Beat until changed colour. And bake as above.


Top with 250g unsalted butter, whipped until smooth and then add in 1 kg of icing sugar, give or take, depends on how sweet you like it.
This makes lots of icing. Enough to ice at least 48 cupcake sized cupcakes.
I just make a bit batch and store it in the fridge.

Oh yum! These look delicious. I will have to give your recipe a try, especially the frosting. I can never get frosting right but this one sounds easy.

They are ridiculously easy, Ingrid.
I even used my food processor as my mix master decided to die :(
