DRY INGREDIENTS<\/strong>
\n– 1 1\/3 cups cake flour (sub plain \/ all purpose flour, Note 1)
\n– 1 tbsp cocoa powder , unsweetened (Note 2)
\n– 1 1\/2 tsp baking powder (not baking soda, Note 3)
\n– Pinch of salt<\/p>\n

WET INGREDIENTS<\/strong>
\n– 4 tbsp unsalted butter , softened (Note 4)
\n– 2\/3 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar)
\n– 2 large eggs , at room temperature (Note 5)
\n– 1\/3 cup vegetable oil (or canola)
\n– 1\/2 cup buttermilk , at room temperature (Note 6)
\n– 1 tsp vanilla extract
\n– 1\/2 tsp white vinegar (Note 7)
\n– 1 tbsp red food colouring (yes, 1 whole tablespoon!)<\/p>\n

CUPCAKE METHOD<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 180\u00b0C\/350\u00b0F (160\u00b0C fan). Line a standard 12 hole muffin tin with cupcake liners.<\/li>\n
  2. Sift Dry ingredients together into a bowl.<\/li>\n
  3. Cream butter:<\/strong> Put the butter in a separate bowl and beat on speed 2 for 1 minute with an electric mixer or stand mixer (paddle attachment).<\/li>\n
  4. Cream sugar:<\/strong> Add sugar then beat for a further 2 minutes, same speed, until the butter is very pale yellow, almost white.<\/li>\n
  5. Beat in eggs:<\/strong> Add the eggs one at a time beating for 30 seconds on speed 1 after each addition.<\/li>\n
  6. Add remaining Wet ingredients:<\/strong> Add oil, buttermilk, vanilla and red food colouring then beat on Speed 1 until incorporated and the batter is smooth.<\/li>\n
  7. Beat in flour:<\/strong> Sprinkle the Dry ingredients across the surface and mix on Speed 1 for just 20 seconds. Scrape down sides of the bowl, then mix again for 10 seconds. The batter should now be smooth \u2013 few small lumps is ok. Do not keep beating \u2013 overworks batter = cupcakes not as soft!<\/li>\n
  8. Fill pan:<\/strong> Divide the batter between the 12 cupcake liners \u2013 it should fill 3\/4 of the way, but it depends on the size of the cupcake liners you use.<\/li>\n
  9. Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the middle cupcake comes out clean.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
