Instructions

Measure all the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric hand mixer until the batter is completely smooth. You might need to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a spatula to make sure the ingredients are well combined.
Use a large cookie scoop to divide the batter between 8 large paper cup cases or a medium scoop if you are using smaller cupcake liners - you will have 10-12 cupcakes.
Place the cupcakes in the air fryer basket and bake at 160°C (325°F) for 23-25 minutes for large cupcakes and 18-20 for smaller ones. You do not need to preheat the air fryer for this recipe.
Check the cupcakes are risen, golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. If they are not quite done yet you can add a couple of minutes to the cooking time. Store in a cake container for 2-3 days or wrap well and freeze(without any frosting).
Put all the frosting in a mixing bowl and whisk on a low speed setting to combine the ingredients. Increase the speed to medium -high and beat until frosting holds peaks. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Pipe a generous swirl of frosting over the cupcakes add sprinkles and enjoy!

Notes

If your are using plain flour then add two teaspoons of baking powder.
Don't overfill the paper cases.
To make the strawberry frosting in the photos add 2-3 teaspoons of freeze-dried strawberry powder to the basic vanilla frosting.
