My master piece(s)! They didn't taste as good as they looked, but it was a good start to many more hours of baking to come. Do you have any tasty recipes to share?
Those look amazing! I never get my cupcakes to look that great :) But I did buy decorating sugar for Valentine's day and I'm super excited to try to make my cupcakes look cute!
I posted a bread pudding recipe today if you're in the mood to bake that!
They look delish, I want to lick the icing off! This is my go to recipe fro chocolate cake and I use it for cupcakes too.
Easy Chocolate Cake
Ingredients (half this quantity makes 12 medium cupcakes)
300g flour(150 white, 150 wholemeal) 3 heaped tsp baking powder 100g cocoa (sifted) 250g of raw sugar
200g melted butter 4 medium eggs 450ml milk
Pre-heat oven to 180C, line and grease a 22cm cake tin. Mix dry ingredients. Add combined wet ingredients. Beat until mixture is pale and silky looking. Pour into the tin and smooth out. Bake for about 45 mins to an hour. (or as cupcakes for about 40 minutes)
I'm awful at baking but I have 2 cupcake shop recommendations for when you're over in London: Lola's Cupcakes and Hummingbird Bakery. I travel an hour across town in order to taste each of their wares!
