- Beat in the vanilla essence. Using a large metal sieve, sift the flour into the bowl.
- Using a metal spoon, gently fold the flour into the mixture until thoroughly incorporated.
- Add the milk and fold gently into the mixture.
- The cupcake mixture should have a smooth consistency and drop easily from the spoon if tapped on the side of the bowl.
- Carefully spoon the mixture into the cases, taking care not to over fill them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cupcakes have risen, are gold and just firm to the touch.

- For the buttercream icing- Place the butter and vanilla essence in a large mixing bowl and, using an electric mixer beat the butter until very soft and pale.
- Gradually sift in the icing sugar, beating well after each addition. The more you beat at this stage, the lighter and fluffier the icing will become.
