Easy Kids Cupcake Recipe
This easy kids cupcake recipe is perfect for kids and adults for a tasty treat made with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 150 grams caster sugar
- 150 grams unsalted butter softened
- 3 medium eggs beaten
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 150 grams vanilla extract sifted
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 4-5 tbsp boiling water
- 1/2-1 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175C. Line a 12-cup cupcake tin with cupcake cases.
- In a large bowl, using a spatula beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the eggs gradually to the creamed butter and sugar.
- Beat in the vanilla extract. Stir in the flour just until mixed. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake cases, filling each 3/4 full.
- Bake for 15 mins until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool in the tin briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glace icing: In a medium bowl, mix the sugar with 1T of water at a time until desired consistency is achieved. Dip each cupcake in the icing. Leave to dry slightly and sprinkle with sprinkles or dip the cakes on a plate of sprinkles.
