Let’s make them;
Set the oven to 160 C . Gas mark 3
Cream the batter
- Cream butter and sugar together using an electric hand mixer
- Add eggs, one at a time. Make sure you beat two rounds after each addition
- Add vanilla essence and lemon juice. Beat for two rounds
Mix Flour
- Mix baking powder, salt, and cornflour to Self-raising flour and sieve onto the cake batter, holding the sieve well above it, allowing the air to escape
- Do not use the electric mixer at this point. Fold the flour gently with a wooden spoon until everything turns into a creamy batter
- Add milk and fold well
Fill the cupcake cases
- Fill the paper cupcake cases 3/4th with the batter, leaving space for the cakes to rise
- Place the filled-up cases in the cupcake tray
- Lift the tray and drop gently on the pantry top twice, to level the cake batter
Bake
- Pop the tray into the oven
- Bake for 13-20 min. (Never open the oven door in the initial 10 mins)
- Insert a skewer into the middle of the cake and if it comes clean, your cake is ready
- Take the tray out of the oven and let it rest for 10 mins.
- Slowly remove the cupcakes from the tray and place them on a cooling rack
- Let the cakes cool off completely
Mascarpone cheese and Icing sugar frosting

| Mascarpone cheese | 100g |
| Icing sugar | 35g |

With a spatula mix all together vigorously until creamy. Double the quantities proportionately if you need more icing
Let’s decorate the cupcakes now
- Cut out a small circle from each cupcake so a little well is formed in the center

- Cover with mascarpone icing with a flat knife or make a swirl with a nozzle
- Arrange quarters of strawberry and the cutout rounds of the cupcakes in the middle in a pretty angel
