4oz plain flour
4oz Caster sugar
4oz butter
2 eggs (room temp)
Splash of vanilla essence (or almond :D,well anything you please really)
(I also throw in some smarties,or hundreds and thousands now and then)
I usually get 24 cupcakes out of this mix! I also use this mix for my normal cakes,Works a treat!
Cream the sugar,Vanilla essence and butter together until white and fluffy.
Then add the eggs and give another whizz.
Add the flour and fold in gently ( add the smarties or sprinkle now).
Cook in a pre heated oven at 180 Deg. for about 20 minutes!
Check them though i forgot to lol! just until
theyre golden brown and firm to the touch!
take them out and allow them to cool.
Then enjoy,but if you want to ice them heres a recipe for icing i use.
Well more of a frosting lol!
Frosting
250g White chocolate chips/chunks
300g mascarpone
Melt the chocolate over a baine marie. Then mix into the beaten mascarpone!
Its a really rich frosting,and tastes like milky bar!
you can adapt it! Ive whacked fresh raspberries through it before just to break down the sweetness a bit.
