Cupcakes

• Preheat a fan-forced oven to 160C (320F) or 180C (356F) for a conventional oven. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
• To make cereal milk add your milk to a large jug. Pour your cornflakes in there and let them soak for 5 min. Then stir them together. You can add them to a food processor or use a bar mix (stick blender) to pulverize everything if you don’t want chunks of cereal in your cupcakes.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and salt. Turn mixer on low speed and allow it to mix for a couple minutes to help everything combine well (alternatively you may do this by sifting the ingredients together). Add the softened butter and let it mix until it resembles a fine sand like texture.
• Next, add cereal milk, eggs, yogurt, oil and vanilla extract in a large jug and whisk well.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients in a slow and steady stream until no dry ingredients are visible. Scrape down the bowl add 1 cup of flavoured cereal to your batter and mix for another 20 seconds.
• Fill each cupcake liner 3/4 of the way (using an ice cream scoop to transfer the batter into the cupcake liners makes this a quick and easy process otherwise you can use two tablespoons). Sprinkle with flavoured cereal. Bake for 20-25 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before frosting.
• To make glass of milk frosting add milk powder to a mixing bowl and add enough hot water to form a fairly loose paste. Not too watery though. Make sure it’s mixed really well and there are no lumps.
• Add the paste to a large mixing bowl and add 3 tbsp vanilla buttercream frosting. Mix together until very well combined. It’s important to make sure they’re combined together really well.
• Add the rest of your frosting and mix until combined.
• To frost your cupcakes fit the end of a piping bag with a round tip. Frost in a donut swirl. Top with more flavoured cereal and add a small plastic spoon as decoration :0)
