I use my favourite cake recipes- chocolate, orange, lemon cakes. More success than with cupcake recipes. We like a more dense cupcake rather than the lighter versions of cupcake recipes.
Oh how I love Butterfly Cakes.Was taught to make them at school (only some 44 years ago OMG!)Must make them again one day!

Silly question, but is a butterfly cake like a vanilla cupcake!

I have been asked to make cupcakes for my son's girlfriend's 21st this Saturday. I am thinking I will make 4 or 5 dozen, do I make little tiny ones, or a bit bigger. Also shall I make lots of different flavours or just 1. I have never made them before but want them to be perfect, so any suggestions will help, please.
Ingredients Cupcakes 2 cups self-raising flour 1/2 cup Chelsea Caster Sugar 1/2 tsp salt 100g butter 1 cup milk 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 cup (2 or 3) mashed bananas Chocolate Icing 1 Tbsp softened butter (optional) 1 1/2 cups of Chelsea Chocolate Icing Sugar Hot water Optional - Extra sliced bananas to decorate. Method Turn the oven to 220°C. Stir the flour, Caster sugar and salt together with a fork. Melt the butter, remove from the heat, add the milk, egg and vanilla and beat well with a fork. Mash and measure the bananas. Stir them into the liquid mixture and mix well. Add to the dry mixture and fold everything together carefully until all the flour is dampened; stop before the mixture is smooth. Line a cupcake tray with paper cupcake cases. Spoon mixture into the cases and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they spring back when pressed in the centre. Cool on a wire rack. When cool, decorate with chocolate Icing and top with banana slices (optional). Chocolate Icing Add butter to icing sugar.
