Planning anything special for the Queen's Jubilee? No street party spread would be complete without some Jubilee cupcakes! Try our easy recipe from Victoria Threader and decorate with Union Jacks and sprinkles
Preheat your oven to 160°C/320°F/Gas Mark 3. Place 12 cases in your muffin tin.
Beat the sugar and butter with the vanilla essence until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes)
Combine the flour and cornflour.
Add 1 egg, 1 third of the flour mix and a splash of milk and beat until just combined and repeat until all the ingredients are added.
Divide the batter between the 12 cases and bake for 20-25 minutes depending on your oven.
Cool in the tins for 10 minutes before moving to a wire cooling rack.
To make the buttercream
Add butter, icing sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl, then beat for about 5 minutes with an electric whisk until smooth.
Pour the milk gradually if you need to loosen the mixture.
Piping a swirl
Attach the nozzle to the piping bag and place in a tall glass, pulling the bag down around the glass. Fill the bag 2/3 full with the buttercream and twist at the top of the bag to close.
To pipe a swirl, apply pressure to the top of the bag and pipe a star shape in the middle of the cake. Release the pressure and pull up quickly.
Then, start at the outside edge of the cake and pipe around the star and build up into a swirl. When you reach the end of the swirl press down slightly, release the pressure and pull up quickly.

best buns I've ever baked, you only need 1/2 the amount of butter cream and don't really need the milk!
