  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°c. Line a muffin-tray with cupcake cases. Combine all the dry ingredients together and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes until well combined. Slowly add the hot water and mix through.
  • The batter will be very runny, so don’t be alarmed. Pour the batter into the cupcake cases and place into the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes for 15-18 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes in the tray. Remove them from the tray and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Decorate with Strawberry Buttercream frosting.
  • Strawberry Buttercream Frosting:
    Beat the butter until pale and fluffy. Sift in the icing sugar and beat until the mixture comes together in a ball. Add the milk, flavouring and colour and beat for another minute. To create the ‘ripple’ effect, streak the inside of the piping bag with some red/pink gel food colouring . Fill with the buttercream and pipe onto the cooled cupcakes.
