Ingredients
- 2 cups Self Raising Flour

- 3/4 cup Milk
- 1 cup Caster Sugar
- 2 tbsp Butter (room temperature)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Icing
- 80 grams Butter
- 1 cup Icing Sugar
- 1 Strawberry Jam
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Line a 12 hole muffin tin with muffin cases and set aside.

To Make the Monte Carlo Icing:
- Cream together the butter until pale and soft (approximately five minutes).
- Add the sifted icing sugar and beat for a further 3 - 4 minutes or until soft and creamy.
- To finish off the cupcakes, cut the top off the cooled cupcake and spread a layer of strawberry jam and a layer of the butter icing.
- Place the lid back on the cupcake and dust with icing sugar. Serve immediately.
