Ingredients

Method


1) Preheat oven to 160C/Gas 3. Line cupcake tins with paper liners; set aside.

2) Combine in a bowl both flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix on low speed until combined for about 3 minutes. Add in cubed butter, mixing until just coated with flour.

3) Add eggs one at a time until combined. Slowly add milk and vanilla to batter until completely mixed, scraping down the bowl as you mix.

4) Scoop batter into baking cups filling about two-thirds full. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the centre comes out clean, 17-20 minutes.

5) Cool and decorate with old-fashioned icing.

Old-fashioned icing:
1) Cream softened butter and add half the sugar, milk and vanilla. Beat with paddle attachment until smooth.

2) Gradually add the rest of sugar to reach icing consistency.
