1

Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). We need to get it nice and toasty for our cupcakes.

2

Prepare the Cupcake Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups (180g) of all-purpose flour, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix them together like you're doing a little dance with your whisk! In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (113g) of softened butter, 3/4 cup (150g) of granulated sugar, and 2 eggs. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and give it another good whisk. Now, pour in 1/2 cup (120ml) of milk, followed by the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until you have a smooth batter. No lumps allowed!

3

Bake the Cupcakes

Line a mini cupcake tin with cute little cupcake liners. Fill each liner about 2/3 full with your cupcake batter. Pop the tin into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. While the cupcakes are baking, try not to start cracking eggcellent jokes.

4

Cool and Decorate

Once the cupcakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely. While they're cooling, resist the urge to eat them all. Now, it's time to get creative with the decorating! Grab some store-bought frosting in any colors you like. Use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to pipe little swirls on top of each cupcake. Gently press mini chocolate Easter eggs into the frosting, forming a nest-like pattern. And voila! You have your adorable mini Easter Egg Cupcakes.
