Eggless cupcakes

I find it really hard to bake cupcakes without eggs, this is my fav recepie!

Ingredients
Cup cakes
2 and 1/2 cups plain flour
1 and 1/4 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup melted butter
8 tbsp natural youghrt which has been sitting out the fridge for about half a day
3/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract


Butter Icing
200g icing sugar
50g butter
1tsp vanilla extract


Method

Mix the youghrt and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl and keep aside. (use once it becomes frothy)
Mix the butter, sugar and whisk well till the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the flour, baking powder, yoghurt and vanilla extract and mix until smooth, can ad a little water if required.
Put the batter in cupcake holders.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°c until a knife inserted in the cake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven, keep aside to cool


For the icing

Mix all the ingredients together keep whisking till they bind, if you like your icing a bit runny ad a few drops of milk. Then spoon over the cooled cakes. I like to sprinkle a few hundred and thousands for a bit of colour.
