Blueberry Cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting

Blueberries Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.

i LOVE cupcakes... especially the pretty ones that you can get in shops.

I made these cupcakes for an event and arranged them nicely on a cupcake holder that I got from my birthday.

Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of it on the holder and this picture is of courtesy to a friend of mine.


Ingredients (makes ard 20):

Cupcakes

(A)
250 grams butter
250 grams castor sugar
200 grams eggs (approx 4 eggs)

(B)
250 grams cake flour (or plain flour)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder

(C)
80ml milk

blueberries

Method:

1. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. One at a time beat in the eggs, then beat in the vanilla essence
3. Alternately add the sifted flour mixture and the milk, starting and finishing with the flour mixture
4. Scoop batter in baking cups until 2/3 full
5. Place two to three or as desired blueberries into each cupcake.
   
6. Bake at 180C for 20-25 minutes

Cream Cheese frosting

125 grams butter
250 grams cream cheese
120 grams icing sugar

Method:

1. Cream butter and cheese until light and fluffy.
2. Put in icing sugar and cream again until smooth.

Some tips:

• Do not cream the butter and cheese too much or the frosting will end up runny
• It is essential to cool the cupcakes before decorating
• Decorate it with a pipe or just swirl it with a knife!
• Remember to bake it on the muffin pans as it will come out in a nicer shape, DO NOT BE LAZY, or your cupcake will come out flat. (previous experience has thought me so)

Simply add a touch of yourself on the cupcake
