SPONGE CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a muffin tin with baking cups. With an electric mixer, whip the egg yolks and all but 3 tablespoons of the sugar for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 1/2 tablespoons of boiling water and the vanilla. Sift together the cake flour and salt. Fold into the yolks until just mixed.
- Whip the egg whites until foamy. Slowly incorporate the remaining sugar and whip until the whites hold stiff peaks. Stir 1/3 of the whites into the yolks, then gently fold in the rest.
- Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full, and bake until the cupcakes are lightly browned and spring back when pressed lightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a rack.

Steps:
- You will need: 1 bowl, 1 wooden spoon or electric mixer, 1 sieve 1 12-hole cupcake tin lined with paper cases, a skewer or toothpick, a metal/plastic spoon, and a wire rack for cooling.
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 180oC (350oF) Gas 4.
- Beat the butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, one at a time. Combine the flour and baking powder and sift into the mixture. Fold in, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Spoon the mixture into the paper cases and bake in the preheated oven for about 17 minutes, until risen and golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- For the buttercream: Cream the margarine, and gradually sift the icing sugar into the mixture, and cream together. Add the vanilla extract, and stir.
- Carefully slice the top off each cake, then cut each top in half. Spoon a dollop of jam, and then buttercream into the middle of each cake. Then top with the two halves, setting them at an angle to resemble wings. Dust with icing sugar if you wish, and serve.
Tips:
- For a light and fluffy texture, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking.
- Don't overmix the batter, or your cupcakes will be tough.
- Fill the cupcake liners only halfway, or they will overflow in the oven.
- Bake the cupcakes at a moderate temperature (350°F) for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.
