Simple Cupcakes

For the cakes:

Preheat the oven to 180C/gas.

Grease a 12-hole 125 ml non-stick muffin tray.

Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until pale and creamy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla and beat until well combined.

Sift the flours together and fold in while adding the milk.

Stir until almost smooth.

Divide the mixture between the muffins holes then bake for 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and leave to sit for 10 minutes in the tin.

Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool.

Cream the butter and icing sugar for at least 5 minutes with an electric mixer and then top over cupcakes and serve.
