Yes, I've been into cupcakes lately

Technically, though, these are fairy cakes, a specific type of British cupcake.

fairy cakes

The recipe, translated for Americans, is:

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 lightly beaten eggs
1 cup self-rising flour
  • Cream butter and sugar together.
  • Mix in eggs a little bit at a time.
  • Mix in flour by hand.
  • Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

You can add in 1/2 cup of currants, sultanas, or whatever. I add in a 1/2 tsp of vanilla.

The frosting is my standard: butter, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until it's the right consistency.
