Ingredients
- 12 dr. oetker cupcake cases (pink and blue varieties)
- 165 g (6oz) baking margarine, softened
- 165 g (6oz) caster sugar
- 3 medium eggs, beaten
- 5 ml (1 tsp) dr. oetker natural vanilla extract
- 165 g (6oz) plain flour
- 12.50 ml (2.5 tsps) dr. oetker baking powder
To decorate
- dr. oetker vanilla flavour and chocolate flavour easy swirl cupcake icings
- dr. oetker sugar butterflies, soft shimmer pearls, wafer daisies, soft silver pearls and soft gold pearls
Method
- Preheat the oven to
180°C (160°C fan oven, 350 F, gas 4). Line a deep cupcake tin with pink
and blue cupcake cases. In a mixing bowl, beat the margarine with the
sugar until pale and creamy-light in texture.
- Gradually whisk in the
eggs and vanilla extract then sift the flour and baking powder on top.
Using a large metal spoon, carefully fold the dry ingredients into the
creamed mixture.
- Spoon mixture into 12
cake cases and bake on the middle shelf in the oven for 20-22 minutes
until risen and just firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Use the Dr. Oetker
Vanilla Flavour Easy Swirl Cupcake Icing to decorate the cupcakes in the
pink cases with gorgeous iced swirls. Hold the can at a downward
horizontal angle to the cupcake, place your finger towards the tip of
the nozzle and push firmly down to start the flow of the icing. Use the
Chocolate Flavour Easy Swirl to decorate the cakes in the blue cases in
the same way.
- Finish by sprinkling Dr. Oetker decorations over the icing, serve and enjoy!
