Preparation

Mix the ‘wet’ ingredients together until mixture is smooth, then add the flour and baking powder. Fill to three quarters the paper cups or cupcake moulds and bake for 10-15 minutes at 160°C. Prepare the icing with icing sugar, lemon juice and a drop of food colouring. Once cooked and cooled, decorate the cupcakes with the icing.

Tips
Do you love cupcakes but would like to try a different garnish? Try adding fresh cream while they are still warm from the oven.
Trivia
Why are these little desserts called ‘cupcakes’? It is possibly because the ingredients needed for their preparation were once measured with a cup – or, perhaps more likely, that they are simply cooked in little paper cups.
