Ingredients

  • 1-2/3 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2/3 cups White Sugar
  • 3 whole Egg Yolks
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/2 cups Milk
  • 1 container Buttercream Frosting, 16 Ounce Tub, Or Your Favorite Recipe

Method

  • Preheat oven to 175 C.
  • In a medium-sized bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your electric mixer beat the butter until soft and creamy (about 1-2 minutes). Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes). Add egg yolks, in two batches, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat until combined.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the flour; beat until combined after each addition.
  • Now line a cupcake tin or muffin tin with paper cups (recipe makes 12 cupcakes). Pour batter into cups. Fill to about 2/3 full. Don't over fill.
  • Bake at 175 C for about 25 minutes. Cupcakes are ready when the top springs back when you touch it with your finger. (Do not over bake or the cupcakes will be dry.)
  • Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool before decorating. When the cupcakes are cool, fill a pastry bag with the buttercream frosting and pipe onto the cakes. Use a piping bag with a star nozzle if you have one.
  • Serve and enjoy.
