If you want to make no-fuss cup cakes (like for the Cup Cake Contest on 5th September…), here’s a quick and easy recipe that works a charm:
125g soft margarine
125g caster sugar
Beat together well until smooth and creamy. Add into the mixture:
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Blend well. Then sift and add:
125g self raising flour.
Beat until you get a light, creamy texture.
Five ingredients, 10 minute preparation time. 15 minute cooking time. What could be easier?
Place cup cake cases in a muffin tin so that they hold their shape. Half fill each case with cake mix.
Bake at 180C/350F Gas 4 for 15 minutes. The cupcakes will be a golden colour when fully cooked and will spring back when lightly pressed. (Makes 9)
Then the important part – Decorate to your heart’s content. Have fun!
