How to bake vanilla cupcakes for events
Because I bake and share a lot of my baked goodies I am often asked to bake for events. Sometimes I just take surprise cupcakes or other baked goods to events which are always much appreciated. I baked the ones in the image above for a tennis event and I decorated them with the colours of the tennis club complete with edible logos.
I have a few vanilla cup cake recipes and I alternate between them depending on what ingredients I have. Some require more eggs than others so if I have just two eggs I could use this recipe and maybe another day a different one. This recipe is easy to double, triple or multiply by whatever number to get the right amount for your event. I am going to show you how to bake vanilla cupcakes for events.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups self raising flour
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- ¾ cup caster sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup buttermilk
Method
- Preheat oven to 175 Celsius
- Line your cupcake tray with cupcake cases
- Mix all your dry ingredients together in one bowl
- Mix all the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl or jug
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth
- Pour the mixture into the cupcake cases until they are about 2/3 full
- Bake in the oven for about 14-16 minutes , test with a cake tester to see if they are baked through
- Remove from the oven and leave them in the tray for 2 minutes and then put them on a cooling rack to cool completely
You can decorate them when they are completely cold with any icing of your choice. I prefer to use the following recipes to decorate
