110g softened butter
110g golden caster sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract
110g self-raising flour

300g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp milk
food colouring paste of your choice (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and fill a 12 cupcake tray with cases.
  • Using an electric whisk beat 110g softened butter and 110g golden caster sugar together until pale and fluffy then whisk in 2 large eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
  • Add ½ tsp vanilla extract, 110g self-raising flour and a pinch of salt, whisk until just combined then spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases.
  • Bake for 15 mins until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • To make the buttercream, whisk 150g softened butter until super soft then add 300g icing sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
