Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Line cupcake tin with 12 cases.
-
Using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is well combined before adding the next. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, spices, and salt.
-
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in three separate parts, alternating with the apple cider vinegar. Stir until fully combined. Fold in the grated apple.
-
Spoon the batter into the cupcake cases, filling each case about two-thirds full. Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a cupcake comes out clean.
-
Leave the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the frosting by beating the butter until pale and creamy.
-
Gradually sift in the icing sugar, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and enough milk to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
-
When the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe or spread the frosting on top using a palette knife or piping bag.
-
Decorate the frosted cupcakes with your choice of sprinkles or other decorations.
