RECIPE: STRAWBERRY BABY CUPCAKES


A simple cupcake recipe ideal for afternoon tea, kids' birthday parties or for school parties. Top with some strawberry butter icing to complete the effect.


Ingredients

225 g caster sugar
4 eggs – I used xl (800 g) eggs
225 g self raising flour – sifted
1 tsp Queen brand strawberry essence

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a biscuit tray or slice tin with mini cupcake paper cases.

Put all ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with electric beaters until combined. Evenly spoon the mixture into the paper cases and bake for 15 to 20 mins.

Cool completely before icing with STRAWBERRY BUTTER ICING.
