Ingredients

Servings

For the Cake

  • 250 g flour self raising flour, 2 cups
  • 250 g caster sugar superfine sugar, 1 1/4 cup
  • 115 g margarine or use softened unsalted butter
  • 2 egg large
  • 120 ml milk ½ cup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Simple Vanilla Frosting

  • 260 g icing sugar powdered sugar
  • 115 g butter softened, unsalted
  • 80 ml cream double / heavy, 1/3 cup
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
