Cupcake recipe

I use Carol Deacons recipe for making the cupcakes. This recipe makes about 24 cupcakes

Ingredients:
250g(8oz) self raising flour(sifted)
175g (6oz) Soft butter or margarine
175g (6oz) Caster sugar
3 eggs
1tbsp milk

Method:
1) Sift the flour into a mixing bowl
2) Add the rest of the dry ingredients and finally the eggs and milk
3) Bind the mixture together on a slow speed then increase the speed and beat on high for a minute until the mixture is pale and creamy.
4) Place 24 paper cases into a baking tray and place about a teaspoon of cake mixture into each case.
5) Bake at 160C/325f/Gas mark 3 for about 20 minutes until golden.
6) Leave to cool before decorating


TIP
Adding a couple of tablespoons of hundreds and thousands to the raw cake mixture will give your cakes a rainbow effect when cooked!
