Such a quick and simple recipe. The cupcakes were really light and fluffy. The recipe made 12 cupcakes for me. I'll keep this recipe on hand as my go to. Thanks!
Great cup cakes so easy, I added the variants and I did halve the sugar as I am conscious of too much sugar. This recipe is definitely put in my favourites. Thank you
Again delish, this time made double batch and muffins. Added a splash of milk and berries
Actually worked out fantastic
Made the yunmiest top tier for my birthday cake thank you. Threw in a cupful of blueberries, was absolutely delicous and so springy. Thank you
Lovely cupcakes and so easy to make. I made them with white choc chips for the school lunches. Unfortunately they were so good (especially hot) only 3 are left for the lunch boxes tomorrow! The recipe was perfect for 12 muffin size pan. They weren’t overflowing. I will double the recipe next time and make more or extra large sizes. Thanks for the recipe
Loved this recipe and variations. Although I did add about 50ml of milk and creamed butter and sugar first before adding the rest of ingredients. Very light and fluffy couldn't stop eating them.
