Strawberry Sundae Inspired Cupcakes

A unique take on Ekka's iconic strawberry sundae. This easy and delicious recipe is best made with local and fresh ingredients.

Ingredients:
225g salted butter
4 large room temperature free range eggs
1 Cup white sugar
200g self raising flour
60ml milk
10ml vanilla extract
1 tsp grated lime or lemon

Method:

1. Beat the sugar and butter with the whisk attachment until light and pale fluffy.  The sugar must be dissolved right through and the mixture should look like a little bit of heaven…all light and fluffy
2. Now put the mixer on to really low and add the self-raising flour, eggs and vanilla and zest.  Mix well to form a smooth batter
3. Now pour into a greased cupcake tin or cupcake papers
4. Bake for 15-18 minutes at 180°c (160°c fan forced) or until lightly golden brown and a skewer comes out clean from the middle
5. Once cooked, remove from the oven and cool
6. Once cooled I simply piped these with whipped cream, some sliced strawberries and white chocolate curls or bark
