Steps

1

Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla extract together in a bowl
2

Add the eggs and flour(sift the flour in)
3

Beat everything together until the mixture is smooth. If you're using an electric whisk or stand mixer be careful not to over mix or the texture of the cupcakes will come out too dense.
4

Use a tablespoon to half fill each case with the cupcake mixture. You may need to use a teaspoon or knife to help scrape all the mixture off
5

The cupcakes should only take 20 mins to cook - resist the urge to open the oven door and check on them until the time is up.
6

Grab a cocktail stick or kebab stick and poke it through the middle of one if it comes out dry the cakes are done. If the cocktail stick is wet put the cupcakes back in the oven for a little while longer.
