Easy Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Method

• step 1

  Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas mark 5. Prepare your cupcake tray with the cases needed.

• step 2

  Put the butter/margarine in with the caster sugar and use an electric whisk to beat until light and fluffy.

• step 3

  Slowly whisk in the eggs a bit at a time so that they don't curdle. Once fully whisked add the vanilla essence.

• step 4

  Sift the flour into the mixture and fold it using a spatula so as to get all of the flour mixed. Once consistent, add the chocolate chips and fold them in as well.

• step 5

  Use two tea spoons to spoon the mixture into the cases until they're 3/4 full. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, check regularly with a cocktail stick (if they are undercooked the cocktail stick will come out with mixture on it). Once cupcakes are done place on a cooling rack until cool.

• step 6

  Dust with icing sugar and enjoy!
