Ingredients
80 gram Butter, softened
.5 cup Caster sugar
1 Egg
1 cup self-raising flour, sifted
1/3 cups Milk
1 pack queen food colouring or pastel coloured food dye
250 gram icing sugar, sifted
80 gram Butter at room temperature
25 millilitre Milk
1 tbsp Vanilla extract-use 1-2 tsp first, leave a few drops for later use
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180°
- Using a hand or stand mixer cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy
- Add egg and mix well
- Add flour, milk, and vanilla and beat on medium speed until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 bowls. Check the back of the food colour box for instructions on mixing pastel colours and colour each bowl of the mixture a different colour.
- Place white cupcake cases in a cupcake tin and divide each bowl of coloured cake mix between them, one colour at a time layered on top of each other.
- Bake for 15 to 20 mins or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Set aside to cool completely.
- Beat the icing sugar and butter on med-low heat until well combined – about 5 minutes.
- Turn speed to low and beat in milk and vanilla. Once incorporated turn the speed up to high and beat until light and fluffy. At least 5 minutes.
- Add different food colour to four separate points in the frosting and gently swirl with a skewer.
- Place the frosting in a piping bag and pipe over the cupcakes.
- TIP: The longer you beat the frosting the fluffier it will become!
