Lesleys Vanilla Cupcakes

These are the BEST base cupcakes ever :) These are actually what converted me to making cupcakes from scratch!

150gr butter - room temperature
3/4 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups SR flour
2 teaspoons lemon juice
dash of vanilla extract

Pre heat oven to 180 deg
Cream butter and sugar till pale, add eggs 1 at a time (mixing in each one)add lemon juice and vanilla
add half the flour and milk, mix in, add in the remaining flour and milk mix till pale
Bake

Muffin pans 20 mins
cupcake pans 15 mins
mini pans 10 mins

You don't want them over cooked......just cooked is best (golden not brown )

Lesley's frosting

250gr butter
1kg icing sugar

beat butter until smooth and then add icing sugar (give or take on the amount depends on how sweet you like it) .....beat until smooth and fluffy

You may need to add a few drops of milk if your frosting is a bit stiff.....only add a few drops at a time till you get the desired frosting

This makes enough for about 48 cupcakes but it can be stored in the fridge
