Ingredients

1 cup self-rising flour
½ cup superfine sugar
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
10 conversation heart candies

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 10 cups in a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
Beat flour, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla for cupcakes until smooth and light in color. Fill the prepared muffin cups 1/2 full with batter.
Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 25 more minutes.
Mix powdered sugar and 1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons butter for icing in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Smear over cooled cupcakes and place a heart candy in the middle of each one.
