Directions

Serving Size: 24 cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two, 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners and lightly grease pan tops.
  • Cupcakes: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until combined.
  • Add evaporated milk, butter, vanilla and eggs to flour mixture. Beat on medium speed, using an electric mixer, or whisk until smooth.
  • Divide batter evenly between muffin cups, filling three-quarters full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into centre of cupcake comes out clean. Transfer cupcakes to wire rack; cool completely before frosting, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Frosting: Beat shortening, evaporated milk, butter and vanilla until fluffy. Add sugar, one cup at a time, beating until light and fluffy in texture. Frost cupcakes when cooled.
