Got our delicious Vanilla Cupcakes Baking Mix and are ready to bake them up?

You can also find the instructions for the Buttercream Here

What you need to add:

100ml Buttermilk

100g Unsalted butter at room temp

2 eggs at room temp

1 tsp of Vanilla Essence

How to make our delicious Cupcakes:

• Take your butter and eggs out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature
• Pre-Heat Oven to 135 degrees and prep your cupcake tray with 12 cupcake patty liners
• Chop the room temp butter into small pieces and add it into your stand mixer, mix the butter on medium – high speed for 3 minutes until the butter is light in colour and looks smooth. Scrape down the bowl halfway and again once it is finished mixing so the butter isn’t sticking to the bottom. This step is called ‘creaming the butter’
• Add your Bake it Cupcake Baking Mix, eggs and vanilla and start to mix on a lowest speed so you don’t end up with a flour filled kitchen!
• As the batter is mixing on low slowly pour in your milk not too fast or it will splash on you
• Mix for 1 minute, stop your mixer and scrape the sides/base of the bowl so nothing gets missed while the batter is mixing
• On a medium speed mix your batter for an additional 2-3 minutes until it is all combined and is nice and creamy, if you need to you can also stop halfway and scrape the bowl sides and base to make sure nothing is getting left behind
• Evenly distribute your cupcake batter into the cupcake tray. Scoop about a tablespoon, just your regular kitchen tablespoon, into each to start and divide any leftover batter evenly. They will be about ½ full in each. Try your best to make them as even sized as possible
• Give the tray a couple of light taps (light not hard) on the bench top to even out any bumps in the batter
• Pop into the oven on the lower shelf to cook for 25 mins, you can check after 22 minutes to see if they are cooked, they will spring back up if you lightly press on top once they are ready or a skewer will come out clean but don’t open and close the oven too much.
• These cupcakes love to cook low and slow it is how you get the nice dome shape. If you put the temperature up, you will get un-even mountain peak style cupcakes and they may dry out
• Now here is the hard part, once they are cooked leave for 5 mins in the tray and then move to a cooling rack to cool completely but careful with your fingers, they are still hot
• You can eat these as is or follow our icing instructions to top these with delicious buttercream
• Store un-iced cupcakes in an airtight container for up to a week, they are a great addition to the freezer as well for about 4- 6 months un-iced.
•  Taste tip! Cupcakes are delicious on their own but even better topped with buttercream frosting and your favourite cuppa for a perfect little treat

🍩 Prepare your Bake it by Giovannellis Chocolate Cupcake Mix as per the instruction card and preheat oven to 135°C but instead of putting it in the regular cupcake tray we are going to use a donut hole tray (you can pick these up at local supermarkets or bigger specialty stores that sell cake pans

🍩 Line your donut tray with oil spray or butter i used Butter for mine i prefer it
🍩 Pop your mix in to about 3/4 full it should make 12
🍩 Bake as normal until just cooked press on the top to check if it springs back up it is ready they may cook a little quicker depending on your size
🍩 Let them cool slightly and then move to a cooling rack they should come out easily
🍩 Once cooled make your Bakeiovannellis Buttercream icing, you can make a glaze but personally I prefer the real buttercream icing that comes with our packs for this as it is thicker and taste nicer I think
🍩I made these for easter but you could top these with sprinkles, chocolate, lollies etc whatever you like.
