Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g unsalted butter (softened)
- 150 g caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 150 g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 200 g unsalted butter (for frosting)
- 350 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 100 g Dolly Mixture candy
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake cases.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar using a hand or stand mixer until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Add the vanilla extract and mix briefly to combine.
Sift in the self-raising flour, then gently fold it into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Stir in the milk to loosen the batter slightly. The mixture should be smooth and fall off the spoon easily.
Evenly divide the batter among the cupcake cases, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until the cupcakes are golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, beat the softened butter in a clean mixing bowl until creamy and smooth.
Gradually sift in the icing sugar, beating well after each addition until thick and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.
Spoon or pipe the buttercream frosting onto the cooled cupcakes using a piping bag fitted with a nozzle of your choice, or spread it with a palette knife.
Decorate each cupcake with an assortment of Dolly Mixture candies, pressing them gently into the frosting so they stick.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Enjoy your colorful and delicious Dolly Mixture Cupcakes!
