Full detailed method
- 1Line a 24-hole mini cupcake tray with cases.
- 2Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- 3In another bowl whisk oil, yoghurt, milk and vanilla. Fold into the dry until just combined.
- 4Fill each case ⅔ full. Bake at 170°C for 13–15 mins until a skewer comes out clean. Cool fully.
- 5Make the buttercream — always start with the butter alone: place the softened butter (it should give easily to a finger press but not look greasy) in a large bowl. Using an electric hand whisk, or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat on medium-high for a full 4–5 minutes, scraping the bowl once or twice. It should turn almost white, light and airy — this is the step that makes buttercream silky. With a hand whisk (no electric), beat vigorously for 6–8 minutes until pale.
- 6On the lowest speed, add the icing sugar one heaped spoonful at a time so it blends in without a sugar cloud. Scrape down the bowl. Add the milk and vanilla, then turn back up to medium-high and beat for another 3–4 minutes until pale and fluffy. Pipe soft swirls onto each cupcake using a small star nozzle and finish with sprinkles.
