Custard Cake (Cupcakes)

Yes I know, more cupcakes. The story behind these ones is that.. well.. basically I was just looking for a simple vanilla cake. Somehow I stumbled across this one, made with custard powder, so essentially its a custard cake. You could substitute the custard powder with cornflour to make the colour of the cake less yellow but I liked the idea that it was a custard cake, and should therefore be yellow.

As you can see from the photos as well I had a bit of fun with food colouring and made some cupcakes green and orange. Although I cut the cupcakes before they had cooled properly and they ended up a bit of a mess, it made for a very colourful array!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 C White flour
3/4 C Custard powder (or Cornflour)
2 1/4 tsp Baking powder
3/4 C Sugar
150g Butter (softened)
1 cup milk

To make:
1. Combine the flour, custard powder, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl.

2. Add the milk and butter and beat until completely combined.

3. Pour into a well greased cake tin and bake at 180 degrees celcius for approx 40 minutes or until cooked. Alternatively pour into cupcake lined muffin trays and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked
