Mothers Day Cupcakes Method
- To prepare your Mother's Day cupcakes, preheat oven to 170C, fan forced.
- Place the cupcake patties in to a large muffin tray and set aside.
- Combine the butter and caster sugar into the bowl of a KitchenAid stand mixer with the beater paddle attached. Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and one egg at a time, beating in-between until combined.
- Turn the mixer down low and slowly add the plain flour and baking powder until it is just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
- Add the lemon zest, juice and butter milk and slowly beat again until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the patties, filling them a third of the way.
- Place in the oven to bake for 25 mins or until they are lightly golden and a skewer comes out clean when tested.
- Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool down.
- Decorate cupcakes with preferred icing and toppings.
