Ingredients
Cupcakes:
- 150g butter
- 1½ cups CSR Caster Sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2½ cups White Wings self-raising flour
- 1¼ cups milk
Decoration:
- 2 cups CSR Soft Icing Mixture
- 100g butter, softened
- ⅓ cup cocoa sifted
- 2 tbsp milk (approx.)
- Mini Easter eggs, to decorate
Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C. Line muffins trays with patty pan cases.
- Beat butter in an electric mixer until smooth, add CSR Caster Sugar and cream together. Add eggs and mix well. Add the vanilla, flour and milk. Beat until smooth.
- Pour in mixture into patty cases until they are about two thirds full. Bake for 20 mins or until golden. While cupcakes are cooling on a wire rack, prepare icing.
- For the icing, cream butter until pale and fluffy. Gradually add CSR Soft Icing Mixture and cocoa until fully combined. Pour in milk and beat for an additional 4 mins. Icing should spread easily; if too thick, add a little more milk.
- To decorate, spread chocolate icing thickly on to cooled cupcakes. Finish by placing mini Easter eggs in the centres.
