Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a 12-cupcake pan with cupcake papers. In a medium-sized bowl, lightly beat the eggs, add butter and sugar, then mix until light and fluffy.
Step 2
Add milk, flour and vanilla, and stir to combine. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, until light and creamy.
Step 3
Divide the mixture evenly between the cake papers. Bake for 18-20 minutes until risen and firm to touch. Allow to cool for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before icing.
Step 4
Meanwhile, combine half the icing sugar and butter and beat with the spoon until light and fluffy.
Step 5
Use a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle to pipe the topping onto the cupcakes. Top with white sprinkles.
