I spent my Sunday morning baking these scrumptious cupcakes! Here's how I made them...
Cupcakes:
- 4oz of margarine
- 4oz of caster sugar
- 40z of self raising flour
- 2 medium eggs
Icing:
- 3oz icing sugar
- 2oz margarine
- Drop of stawberry essence
- Drop of vanilla essence
- Teaspoon of coffee
1. Cream the margarine and caster sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Beat together the eggs and add to the mixture a little at a time whilst stirring.
3. Gently fold in the flour after sieving.
4. Place the mixture into greased cupcake cases.
5. Bake at 180°c for 15 to 20 minutes.
6. Once the cupcakes have cooled, mix together the icing sugar (sieved) and margarine until creamy.
7. Separate the mixture into three bowls.
8. Add vanilla essence and strawberry essence to two of the mixtures.
9. Add the coffee and a splash of hot water to the third mixture.
10. Spread the icing onto the cupcakes and decorate with fruit, sprinkles of whatever else takes your fancy.
Happy baking!
