Basic cup cake recipe

• 2 large eggs
• 115 g/4 oz/½ cup

You can use an electric hand-held mixer for this. Beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the butter, beating continuously. Fold in the flour until you have a smooth batter. Distribute the mixture evenly into the prepared cases and bake at 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4 for 15 minutes. Leave for a few minutes and then transfer the cakes in their paper cases to cool on a wire rack.
