My best friend finished all of his exams today and I am super dooper proud of him. Congratulatory cupcakes were baked and then nommed. (But first, to his amusement, photographed for my blog)
Vanilla Cupcakes w/ Lemon Icing
(Makes 15)
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
2 cups self raising flour
100 grams of butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Icing:
1 cup icing sugar
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Method
Cream the butter and the sugar, adding the egg, vanilla and milk when it looks nice and fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients and scoop the mixture into a cupcake tray. As you may be able to see, I used patty cake thingies. I have no real reason for this, I just think they're cute.
Cook at 180 degrees for twenty minutes or until golden on the top. Now is the hardest part. Let them cool down before icing them.
Eep. Icing is easy. Just throw everything into a bowl and stir. But look at your cupcakes! Don't you just want to eat them now? You can't wait, can you? Oh, you can? Good job.
Price
Cupcakes:
44c for the butter
18c for the sugar
74c for the eggs
25c for the milk
8c for the vanilla essence
Icing:
37c cup icing sugar
4c for the butter
2c for the lemon juice
I've separated the icing and the cupcakes for this one because I know that some people don't like icing and what not. Personally, I prefer them without, but hey, they were best friend cupcakes so the decision was his.
Either way, when your cupcakes are only costing $1.74 splashing out 43c for some icing isn't really a big deal.
