baking cakes

i've decided to bake up a storm this week, getting in the spirit of things with easter coming.  i feel like I need to step up my game, so i've decided to bake!

who's up for some scrumptious banana cupcakes?

Banana cupcakes (makes 12 )
Ingredients
125g (4.5 ounces) butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon (1/6 ounces) vanilla extract
150g (5.2 ounces) caster sugar
2 eggs
225g (8 ounces) self-raising flour
2 large mashed ripe bananas

Cooking instruction

-Preheat oven to 160-180 deg C (325-350 deg F).
-Line muffin tray with paper cases.
-Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture turns a pale colour.
-Beat in eggs, flour and vanilla extract.
-Stir in the mashed banana and mix thoroughly.
-Divide mixture among cases.
-Bake for 25-30 minutes.

These cupcakes are similar to banana bread (very moist from the bananas), they go for a great breakfast treat as well!
