Chocolate and Vanilla cupcakes

And now you guys all love cupcakes with lots and lots of candies on top? Yeahh I figured who doesn't
Well, I decided why not do chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with some candies which pleases children and grownups haha:P
Okay, i have to tell you i resembled my  frosting to our famous incredible cookbook "The Hummingbird Bakery cookbook".
For the vanilla cupcakes:
Makes 12,
120 g plain flour
140 g caster sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
40 g unsalted butter at room temperature
120 ml whole milk 
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract 
To make chocolate cupcakes , just add 20 g cocoa powder (or more or less if you desire) to the recipe following

Put the flour, sugar , baking powder , salt and butter in a freestanding electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or is handheld electric whisk) and beat on slow speed until you get a sandy consistency and everything is combined. Gradually pour in half the milk and beat until the milk is just incorporated.

Whisk the egg, vanilla extract and remaining milk together in a separate bowl for a few seconds , then pour into flour mixture and continue beating until just incorporated (scrape any unmixed ingredients from the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula). Continue mixing for a couple more minutes until the mixture is smooch. Do not overmix

Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until two-thirds full and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until light golden and the sponge bounces back when touched.
A skewed inserted in the centre should come out clean. Leave the cupcakes to cool slightly in the tray before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completly.

Vanilla frosting:
250 g icing sugar, sifted
80 g unsalted butter at room temperature
25 ml whole milk
a couple of drops of vanilla extract
For the chocolate frosting add 40 g cocoa powder, sifted (preferable to use Van Houten)

Check them out, delicious right!! now the method is very easy if you follow exactly the recipe:))

When the cupcakes are cold, spoon the Vanilla (or chocolate) Frosting on top and decorate with hundreds and thousands of candies or chocolate sprinkles
