Birthday Cupcakes with Sprinkles

Here is a simple but fun and yummy way of celebrating a birthday!! All you need to add is a birthday candle...



Preheat oven to 180C
CUPCAKES

110g butter
225g caster sugar
2 large eggs
150g self raising flour
125g plain flour
120 ml skimmed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

ICING

110g butter
2tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
grated zest of lemon
500g icing sugar

Cream together butter and sugar, then add the eggs. In a separate bowl combine the two flours shifted, and then in another bowl add the milk and vanilla together.
Slowly add the milk and flour mixture to the creamed butter. And now the fun bit of filling up the cupcake cases, cook for 15 minutes, or longer if you use a larger sized case.

The icing is quite simple, mix the butter and lemon ingredients and then slowly shift in the icing sugar, ta da!
