Poppy Seeds Cupcakes 
Ingredients:


  • 225g unsalted butter, soften

  • 225g castor sugar
  • 225g self-raising flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1stp vanilla essence
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tbsp grated lemon zest
Directions;

  1. Preheat oven to 175C and place 18 casings in muffin trays.
  2. Combine butter, sugar, flour, and eggs in a mixing bowl and beat with electric whisk until smooth, about 2-3 mins. (You'll noticed that majority of the recipes have the same ingredients and steps up till here. So you can actually make a few types of cupcakes by using the basic ingredients.)
  3. Stir in vanilla essence, poppy seeds and lemon zest until well combined. Spoon batter into cases and bake for about 20 mins. Remove tins from oven and cool for 5 mins before removing the cupcakes and cool on rack.

For the Buttercream my nO fail recipe 


Buttercream


  •  2 sticks of butter
  •  2 tablespoons milk
  •  1 teaspoon vanilla 
  •  4 cups powdered sugar. 
  • 1 tbs of light corn syrup

  1. Beat butter, milk and vanilla on low speed until well blended. 
  2. Add powdered sugar and beat on medium for about 3 minutes. 
  3. Add enough corn syrup to achieve desired consistency and beat about 2 minutes, adding more syrup as needed.(More syrup makes a more spreadable consistence) 
  4. Frost cupcakes or pipe frosting on with a large piping tip. (I used 1M)
