Vanilla Cupcakes
100 g Cake flour
5 g Cocoa
1 g Baking powder
50 g Softened unsalted butter
100 g Castor sugar
1 Whole free-range egg
5 ml Red Food Colouring
2.5 ml Vanilla extract
62.5 ml Milk
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a 6 hole muffin tray with cupcake papers.
Sift together the flour, cocoa and baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the butter for 1-2 minutes. Add the castor sugar a third at a time, beating for 2 minutes after each addition. After the last addition, beat until the mixture is light and fluffy and the sugar has dissolved. Add eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition, or until mixture is light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract, red food colouring and beat until combined.
Add a third of the flour to the creamed mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Add half of the milk and beat until combined. Repeat the process. Add the remaining third of the flour and beat until thoroughly combined; do not overbeat as this will toughen the mixture.
Spoon mixture into cupcake papers, filling each paper about three-quarters full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a fine skewer inserted comes out clean. Remove cupcakes from the trays immediately and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before frosting.
Vanilla Buttercream Icing
100 g Softened unsalted butter
15 ml Milk
5 ml Vanilla extract
250 g Icing sugar
Sift the icing sugar in a bowl. Cream the butter for 2-5 minutes. Add the icing sugar and beat for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the milk and vanilla extract, and beat until the mixture is a spreadable consistency.
Decorate as desired and enjoy with a glass of 2012 Leopard’s Leap Lookout Semi-Sweet!
