These classic cupcakes are perfect for birthday parties and an excellent opportunity to get creative with various toppings such as buttercream. A basic cupcake recipe is a must-have, and this is the simplest one.

Recipe Ingredients

Note: The recipe card below shows the full ingredients and quantities.
- Unsalted butter - unsalted butter gives you complete control of the overall flavour of your recipe, as the salt content in different butter brands can vary greatly.
- Caster sugar - you can make caster sugar in the Thermomix from regular white sugar.
- Self-raising flour
- Eggs - use large eggs at room temperature.
- Vanilla extract - use vanilla extract or pure vanilla bean paste. Avoid using vanilla essence, as it's less intense.
- Milk - either full cream or light milk.
