Cupcakes and pre-poo's

I'm the biggest fat kid when it comes to a good bit of cake, especially if it's a remake from my favourite bakery's recipe book - Hummingbird. Myself and my housemates have started the different dessert a week challenge, so up on the menu yesterday was the bespoke Hummingbird vanilla cupcake. 

That wasn't it for mixing, I also whipped out my scientist hat and finally accomplished my very own water and oil prepoo!  It was a perfectly delicious day for haircare and of course palette satisfaction! 

Check out the next post for my prepoo concoction - Gingernut spice brûlée - 

Here is the recipe for all you budding baking kings and queens!

For the cake:

• 120g plain flour
• 140g caster sugar
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• a pinch of salt
• 40g unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 120ml whole milk
• 1 egg
• ¼tsp vanilla extract
• 1 quantity vanilla frosting
• hundreds and thousands or other edible sprinkles, to decorate
• a 12-hole cupcake tray, lined with paper cases

For the vanilla frosting:

• 250g icing sugar, sifted
• 80g unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 25ml whole milk

Avec amour...
