Serves: 12 large or 24 smal

Cooking Time: 1

Ingredients

CUPCAKES
250g butter
400g (2 cups) sugar
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
10 fresh strawberries, mashed
420g cake flour
20ml (4 tsp) baking powder
125ml (½ cup) milk
125ml (½ cup) water
ICING
250g butter
1kg icing sugar
50ml boiling water
food colouring of your choice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.

For the cupcakes, beat the butter and sugar together until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla and strawberries and mix until combined. Fold in the flour and baking powder. Add the milk and water and mix until smooth.

Line the openings of 2 x 6-hole muffin trays with paper cupcake cases and pour in the batter. Bake until golden and risen, about 40 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool.

For the icing, cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until well combined. Add the water and mix until the icing is soft and fluffy, adding more water if necessary. Stir in a few drops of food colouring to achieve your desired colour.

Ice the cupcakes when cool and decorate as desired.
