Ingredients

 

Cupcakes:

375g all-purpose flour

1½ tsp baking powder

A pinch of salt

2 large free-range eggs at room temperature

160g caster sugar

180g  unsalted butter, melted

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

125ml JUST MILK 

For the icing:

100g milk chocolate

80g semi sweet chocolate

500g Icing sugar, sifted

60ml JUST MILK

60g unsalted butter, softened

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Some sprinkles, marshmallows or sweeties to decorate

Method

 

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a muffin tin with cupcake cases.

2. Mix the flour, Baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.

3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until light and foamy. Gradually add the butter and vanilla extract while you’re Beating.

4. Turn the mixer down to a low setting and add half the dry ingredients, then add all the JUST MILK, and follow with the rest of the dry ingredients. Take care not to over mix the batter. 

5. Divide the batter evenly between the cases in the prepared tin (about 1/3 cup batter per cup cake).

6. Bake for around 20-15 minutes or until a skewer pushed into the centre of the cakes comes out clean.

7. Once cooked, place the entire tray on a cooling rack for ten minutes, before removing the cakes and leaving to Cool completely.
