Cherry Vanilla Cupcake

This month we started a challenge, to see if we can acheive by not eating out for at least a month. Actually we already only eat out once a week, which compares to many others is already a record. But we wanted to start saving for our ski trip in September and also our Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong "food journey" in October. Therefore we really want to challenge ourselves to see if we can do this. Ever since we moved to Melbourne and started doing cooking and baking ourselves, we came to realised a lot of "delicacies" we can actually do it on our own (and very very much cheaper actually). And also we do this to eat more healthy and reduce our meaty diet. 

So, last weekend we started baking Cherry Vanilla cupcakes for our one week supply of breakfast and tea break. And needless to say the ingredients don't cost you more than $2 for 12 cupcakes. In Melbourne, you are expected to pay at least $3.50 for one cupcake. So why not start making your own.

Ingredients:

1) 1 cup of self raising flour
2) 1/2 cup of shifted caster sugar
3) 60 grams of butter
4) 2 eggs
5) 1/4 cup of milk (60 ml)
6) 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Instructions:
1) Preheat oven from 160c to 180c
2) Beat all ingredients together using an electric mixer for 2 mins
3) Spoon the mix to a muffin tin/cupcake paper cups
4) Bake for 10-15 mins

Finally enjoy one for tea.
