These simple and very easy to make cupcakes are made with a vanilla flavoured sponge and decorated with green buttercream and mini golf balls made with marzipan. Fun and unique bake, ideal for Father's Day or for any golf enthusiasts out there!
HOW TO MAKE THIS GOLD CUPCAKES RECIPE
Preheat the oven to 180 C (160 C fan) and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Cream the butter and the sugar together for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
Whisk eggs with vanilla in a jug or a mug, and gradually add into the sugar and butter, mixing well after each addition.
Sift in the flour and fold into the rest of the ingredients using a spoon or spatula. Add 1 tbsp of milk to thin the batter out a bit. Divide the batter between cupcake cases, filling each no more than half full.
Bake for 12 - 15 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
Make the buttercream by beating all the ingredients together. Add enough food colouring to achieve the desired shade of green and transfer it to the piping bag (use the grass nozzle if you have one). Pipe the buttercream on top of the cupcakes.
Decorate the cupcakes with small ˜golf balls" made of marzipan and use some decorative toothpicks if you'd like.
