Banana cupcake recipe

• 225g plain flour
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 110g butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 bananas (mashed up)
• 55ml milk, or buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• 115g caster sugar

Preparation method

1.Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 20 mins

Preheat oven to 190 C / Gas 5.

2.

Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix together.

3.

Put the butter and vanilla in a seperate bowl and beat together until it's creamy.

4.

Gradually add sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, add the eggs one at a time beating each time.

5.

Add a bit of milk at a time, then a bit of dry mixture, then a bit of banana to the cream mixture - beat well each time and keep doing this until you only have one bowl of mixture!

6.

Fill cupcake tray or cases 1/2 full as they rise quite well, bake for about 20mins. Leave to cool in tray for 5 - 10 mins, I put mine in silicon cases and if you pull them out too early theyre a bit wobbly! Taste good with peanut butter cream.
