Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cases.
- In a large bowl, whisk together milk and vinegar. Set aside for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, whisk in oil, egg, vanilla and salt.
- Place cupcake mix in a large bowl and slowly fold in wet mix, until no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix or cupcakes will be tough. The mixture will be quite liquidy.
- Divide evenly between muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes, until a knife comes out clean. They will be quite pale. Allow to cool completely before decorating.
- To make icing, place room temperature butter in a large bowl or bowl of your stand mixer. Use electric beaters to beat until pale, about 4 minutes. Add icing mix and milk to bowl and continue to beat a further 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Top cooled cupcakes with strawberry icing, using a spoon or piping bag.
