Butter cupcake with icing glaze

07th December 2009

I am having an end-of-term party at my school tomorrow and mummy had volunteered to make cupcakes for us. This time, mummy makes butter cupcakes and adds icing glaze as a finishing touch. Delicious!

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients: 125gm butter, 2 eggs, 2 cups sifted self-raising flour, 1/2 cup caster sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla essence, 1/2 cup milk

Directions:
Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Then add vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Beat further until creamy. Then add flour alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Bake in a 180 C preheated oven until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake.

For icing glaze, mix 15gm butter, 2 tablespoons hot water, 1/2 tsp vanilla essence and 1 cup icing sugar until smooth. Spread over cooled cake(s).
