Cupcake Time!

This weekend, my cousins are coming over for morning tea. I'm going to make cupcakes! Since my cousins are boys, I'll ice them with blue icing (hopefully the glitter one I am hoping to buy).

I'll probably use this recipe from http://www.cupcake-creations.com/cup-cake-recipe.html

Ingredients
5 oz (150g)	Butter - softened
5 oz (150g)	superfine (castor) sugar
6 oz (175g)	self-raising flour
3	eggs
1 tsp	vanilla extract
Method
1.	Pre-heat the oven to 350oF (180oC).
2.	Line a 12 cup cake pan, with cup cake papers.
3.	Crack the eggs into a cup and beat lightly with a fork.
4.	Place all the ingredients in a large bowl.
5.	Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, until light and creamy.
6.	Divide the mixture evenly between the cake cases.
7.	Bake for 18-20 minutes until risen and firm to touch.
8.	Allow to cool for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
9.	Allow to cool fully before icing.
Notes
Makes 12 cakes.     Try this easy Chocolate Icing or if you prefer Vanilla Icing.
