Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180C (356F) or 160C (320F) for a fan forced oven. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and salt. Turn mixer on low speed and allow it to mix for a couple minutes to help everything combine well (alternatively you may do this by sifting the ingredients together). Add the softened butter and let it mix until it resembles a fine sand like texture.

Step 3

Next, add milk, eggs, yogurt, oil and vanilla extract in a large jug and whisk well.

Step 4

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients in a slow and steady stream until no dry ingredients are visible. Scrape down the bowl and mix for another 20 seconds.

Step 5

Fill each cupcake liner 3/4 of the way (using an ice cream scoop to transfer the batter into the cupcake liners makes this a quick and easy process otherwise you can use two tablespoons).

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before frosting.

Step 7

Create some holes in the top of your cupcakes with the back of a teaspoon. Don't make the holes too big, just enough so that the milk can soak into the cake.

Step 8

Stick the end of the squeeze bottle into the holes and gently squeeze the milk mixture into the holes. The aim is that the cake gets a little soaked with the milk and takes on the yummy milk flavors. Don't overdo it though! If you soak them too much they'll become soggy and the papers will come away from the cake.

Step 9

Fit the end of a piping bag with a round tip and frost in a swirl as demonstrated in the video.

Step 10

Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk and top with a cherry. Please note. The cherry color can leak so it's best to pop these on right before serving :0)

Step 11

To make frosting add cream and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl.

Step 12

Whip on high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 13

Add mascarpone and whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the fridge.

Step 14

To make milk mixture simply combine all the ingredients together.

Step 15

Transfer to a squeeze bottle.
