    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 Smile

    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.
