Ingredients

Scale

FOR THE CUPCAKES

  • 1/2 cup Truly Grass Fed Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 ts salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large free-range eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 1/3 cup self-rising flour, sifted

FOR THE BUTTERCREAM:

  • 1 cup Truly Grass Fed Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cup icing sugar, sifted

Instructions

TO MAKE THE CUPCAKES:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325ºF
  2. Line two 12-hole cupcake trays with red paper liners
  3. In a food processor beat the butter and sugar for 5-6 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. One-by-one, crack in the eggs, beating each well before adding the next and add the vanilla essence and eggs.
  5. Add the flour, salt and baking powder, then pulse until just combined or gently fold together by hand.
  6. Using two teaspoons, divide the mixture evenly between the paper cases.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden, cooked through and an inserted skewer comes out clean of cake mixture. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

TO MAKE THE BUTTERCREAM FILLING:
