Ingredients
Cake Mix:

• 175 g butter, softened
• 175 g caster sugar
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 150 g self-raising flour

​
Buttercream Icing:

• 225 g unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tbsp cream or milk
• 350 g icing sugar

​
To Decorate:

• 12 mini chocolate flakes
• Hundreds and thousands

Method
Preheat the oven to 180˚C.

Place 8 paper cases in a cupcake tray. (Double
the recipe to make more.)

Beat together the butter and caster sugar in a
large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in
the eggs (which are pre-beaten) and then
vanilla extract.

Sift in the flour and gently fold the mixture.

Spoon the mixture into the paper cases.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes,
or until golden and firm to the touch. When
ready, transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and
leave to cool.

Buttercream Icing:
Beat the butter in a bowl with an electric mixer
until light and fluffy. Add the cream, and beat
well. Then, gradually sift in the icing sugar and
continue beating for about 2-3 minutes, or until
the icing becomes pale and creamy.

Spoon the buttercream in to a large piping bag,
with a large star nozzle. Pipe swirls of
buttercream onto the cupcakes. Press a
chocolate flake into the buttercream, then
sprinkle hundreds and thousands on top.
