Vanilla and Raspberry Cupcakes

I had a load of raspberries leftover from the white chocolate and raspberry blondies, so I decided to do a quick bake to use them up. I came up with simple vanilla cupcakes with vanilla and raspberry icing. They look so summer with brightly cupcake cases and a take on strawberry and cream.

You will need:

4oz Caster Sugar

4oz Self raising flour

1tsp Baking Powder

4oz Margarine 

2 Eggs 

1tsp Vanilla Extract

Topping- 

Buttercream icing

Raspberries

Method:

Weigh our dry ingredients and mix together well. 

Add in margarine and egg, to create a pale yellow smooth mixture.

At this stage add in a drop of vanilla extract.

Line a cupcake tin with decorative summery cupcake cases and fill over half the case with the mixture.

Bake for 15-20 mins, until golden brown and springy. 

Once cooled on a cooling rack, apply the buttercream icing and decorate to your preference.
