Step 1

Preheat fan oven to180 degrees C (360 degrees F)

Step 2

Prepare 12 hole muffin tray with foil liners

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour and baking powder with a whisk for a minute or two, until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

To the same bowl, add the granulated sweetener, eggs, vanilla essence, softened butter and milk. Use a spatula to fold in all the ingredients together, making sure there are no flour pockets.

Step 5

Spoon out the cake mixture evenly across all 12 cupcake liners, smoothing with back of a spoon where needed.

Step 6

Bake in a fan oven at 180 degrees C (360 degrees F) for 20 – 23 minutes.

Step 7

Let cupcakes come to room temperature before adding the frosting.

Mix all the frosting ingredients together in a bowl (making sure butter is softened to room temperature first – not microwaved as it will make frosting too runny)

Step 9

Use a dinner knife or spoon to spread generously onto cupcakes.
