Ally: Summer bucket list checklist.

On my previous post; which was a summer bucket list, I put obviously the things i wanted to do this summer. So I also decided not to leave it there, I'm going to carry on and make a 'series' of my bucket list showing you photos of the things that I have done, and tutorials/recipes. These posts will be going up randomly through the next few weeks.

"Bake the best cupcakes with a friend."

They weren't as bad as they look...We didn't only make five haha.

As you can see we did bake some cupcakes, they were necessarily the best cupcakes,[they weren't slightly burnt, and runny] but oh well we gave it a go, after having knocked over two jars of paprika onto the floor...

I thought to give you guys a recipe for these delicious, fluffy, vanilla cupcakes:

Ingredients for the cupcake batter:

150g of butter [room temp]

150g of flour

150g of caster sugar

1 egg

And vanilla essence[ a couple of drops depending on how strong you want the vanilla taste to be.

Basically put all the ingredients together, adding the essence at the end; mixing everything with a wooden spoon until you get a smooth batter. Fill paper cupcake holders with the batter, you will get 6-9 cupcakes. Place into the oven in 180 degrees fan oven, and let bake for 10-20 mins, checking on them.

The butter icing:

Add 110g of butter room temp, and 500g of icing sugar into a large mixing bowl, also add some vanilla extract again you can add as many drops as you like, depending on how strong you want it to be.

Then whisk it with an electric whisk or a hand whisk, until you get a smooth mixture. Gradually pour milk if you need it to loosen up the mixture, however that is not essential.

Once the butter icing is made, place in the fridge so it is not that runny, and once the cupcakes are made, let them cool down.

Once everything is ready put the butter icing on to the cakes and add sprinkles.
