Instructions
Vanilla Cupcakes
Heat your oven to 180 degrees celsius, (160 degrees if using a fan forced oven.)
Lightly whisk the eggs.
Add all the ingredients including the whisked eggs into a large mixing bowl. Mix on slow until the ingredients are combined.
Increase the speed to medium and beat for approximately 2 minutes until the cupcake batter is pale and creamy.
Portion into 12 cupcake cases, they should be around two thirds full.
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. When cooked the cupcakes will have risen, and be golden in colour and when you insert a skewer into the centre it will come out clean.
Cool
Vanilla Glaze
Once your cupcakes are cool you can glaze them. The vanilla glaze is simple to make, place all the vanilla glaze ingredients into a bowl and whisk, keep whisking until you have a smooth spreadable glaze.
If the glaze is a little thin, add more icing sugar a tablespoon at a time. if the glaze is too thick add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time. Your goal is a spreadable consistency.
Use a knife or spatula to spread the vanilla glaze onto the cupcakes, then sprinkle with sprinkles! (The glaze will harden over time, a bit like the glaze you see on glazed doughnuts).
