Vanilla Cupcake Recipe (1 Egg)

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 6 Cupcakes

Ingredients
  

  • 40 g buttery/margarine
  • 120 g plain flour
  • 140 g caster sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 110 ml whole milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven 180 for fan oven/ 200 non fan/ Gas Mark 6
  • Place 6/7 cupcake cases into the muffin tin. (this is a rough estimate)
  • Pop the butter, sugar,flour and baking powder into your mixing bowl. Mix these on a medium speed until the mix resembles breadcrumbs.
  • I like to pop the vanilla extract,eggs and milk into a jug and give them a mix before adding to the flour/ sugar/butter mix.
  • Once you have mixed the eggs and milk together, gradually add this to the mix. Mix again on a medium speed until you reach a smooth consistency.
  • Once you have achieved a smooth consistency you can pop the mix into the cupcake cases. I fill the cases 2/3rds full. Ice cream scoops are great but do vary in size, the one i use gives just the right amount.
  • This should give you around 6/7 cupcakes.
  • Once you have filled the cupcake cases , then time to bake! I bake these for 20 mins and I find this is the perfect time but it could depend on your oven.
