Measurements:

7 oz unsalted butter
at room temperature, chopped
1 cup (7 oz) superfine sugar
1⅓ cups (7 oz) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp fine salt
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
¼ cup (2 fl oz) whole milk

Instructions

1To preheat the oven, insert the wire rack into position 6. Select Bake, No Fan, 330°F, for 24 minutes and press Start. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
Tip: Recipe has been optimized for the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro.
2Carefully assemble the processor with the grey spindle and green S-blade™ in the bowl. Add all the ingredients except the milk and process until well combined. With the processor on, gradually add the milk through the feed chute, and process until combined.
3Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Divide the batter evenly among the liners.
4Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and bake for 24 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
5Cool the cupcakes in the pan on a wire rack.
6Pop these beauties in an airtight container and they’ll sit on the counter for up to 3 days. For some razzle dazzle…just go with your imagination. Top with our Essential Frosting and sprinkles for a party, lemon curd and meringue for afternoon tea or warm chocolate sauce and raspberries for an instant dessert. Split n’ fill with berries and cream for DIY shortcake, dollop with dulche de leche for a caramel sensation or top with toasted marshmallow and chocolate for a touch of s’mores. The list goes on…
