I’m working on some ideas for the girls first birthday and cupcakes seemed like a good idea. My cake decorating ideas are crap though…

So I’ve made hummingbird cake cupcakes with just a standard buttercream frosting.

Cake Recipe:
Ingredients (serves 6)
250g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground coriander
270g brown sugar
440g can crushed pineapple, drained
50g desiccated coconut
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 eggs, lightly beaten
250ml (1 cup) sunflower oil

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 170°C.
Grease and line the base of a 23cm square cake pan. Sift flour and spices into a large bowl. Add sugar, pineapple, coconut, banana, walnuts, eggs and oil. Stir to combine.
Spread into lined pan and bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Place on a rack and set aside to cool.

For the cupcakes – place in cupcake trays. I think the actual baking time was about the same but I was watching them like a hawk!

Ingredients
185g butter, softened
2 1/4 cups icing sugar mixture

Method
Using an electric mixer, beat butter in a bowl until pale. Gradually add icing sugar mixture and milk, beating constantly until combined.
2 tablespoons milk
