Method

01
Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line the cupcake tin with the cases, set aside.
02
Put all the ingredients except for the milk in a bowl and cream the butter and sugar with a silicone spatula, beat in the eggs one at a time with a little of the flour.
03
Then, add the vanilla extract and fold in the rest of the flour, adding the milk to get a dropping consistency.
04
Spoon and scrape the cupcake batter in, trying to fill each case equally.
05
Put in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cupcakes are cooked and golden on top. Take the cupcakes in their cases out of the tin and let them cool, on a wire rack.
06
Once they're cool, assemble each cupcake with a meringue nest, freshly whipped cream, strawberries, edible cornflowers and any other decorations you fancy, it's up to you. Enjoy!
