But apart from That, they were the BEST cupcakes I have ever made! I changed them a bit and added a hint of caramel flavoring, and for the icing, just plain normal icing with red food dye and strawberry flavoring. IT WAS DELICIOUS! It left my whole family wanting and begging for more, and even those on a diet snuck a bite. I'm 13 years old, but these are easy, quick and amazing to make.

These cupcakes turned out INCREDIBLE. Seriously they were so soft, fluffy, moist and exactly what I wanted. They tasted delicious, I can't even explain how amazing they were. I was a little worried at first with how runny the batter went after putting the boiling water in, but everything went perfect! Also, I cooked these for 30 minutes and not 22 as written because within 22 minutes they still needed a little more baking. This is officially my forever cupcake recipe now.

Adapted by using coconut oil instead of canola oil and because I doubled recipe and it was looking too runny, I cut back to just 1/2 cup water rather than doubling that.

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C conventional or 160ºC fan-forced. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl, then add the sugars and stir in. Add the egg, Meadow Fresh Milk, Olivani Pure Olive Oil and vanilla then beat with a mixer until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl then add the boiling water and mix until just combined (the batter will be runny).
Pour the batter into a measuring cup or jug (it’s easier and cleaner than using a spoon) and pour evenly into each paper case until ¾ filled (don’t over fill or the mixture will overflow).
Place in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Berry Icing
Mix icing sugar with hot water. Add Tararua Butter and beat until light and fluffy. Pipe or spread onto muffins.

Additional tips
