Here is your fool proof, easy to remember, all in one cake mix!
All you need to remember is 6,6,6,3!
Ingredients:
6oz Self Raising Flour
6oz caster sugar
6oz unsalted butter
3 eggs
Few drops of vanilla essence
1tsp baking powder
Buttercream icing:
Icing sugar
Unsalted butter
Dash of milk
Any food colouring colours you want!
Method:1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, a little lower if you have a fan oven.
2. Grease proof paper you cake tin or get out your cup cake trays.
3. In a large bowl or a magimix place all the ingredients, sifting the flour.
4. Mix it all up into a smooth, yummy cake mix.
5. Place in cake tin or cup cake holders and put in the oven for 25 minutes - do not open the oven whilst they are cooking!!
6. Remove after 25 minutes and leave to cool.
7. For the icing just place 200g butter in a bowl and whisk until smooth then add icing sugar and whisk up with a splash of milk and add colouring or cocoa powder for different colours and flavours. Continue to add icing sugar until the mixture is stiff and dense.
8. Once cooled decorate whichever way you want! I will upload pictures of the various different designs I have done... comment if you want more details
For the raspberry jam filling use a knife and cut out a cone shape from the middle of your cup cake, put a small teaspoon of jam in then push the cone cake bit back in on top.
For oreo cup cakes carefully split your oreo and place half a biscuit in the bottom of your cup cake before adding the cake mix and baking. You can also add some cocoa to the cake mix for extra chocolateyness! Then crush up the remaining oreos and add to the icing mix for added oreo goodness!!
For nice swirls with your icing invest in an icing bag, very cheap and perfect for the professional look finish.
For two tone icing split your icing, colour one a different colour to the other and then lie your piping bag on the side filling it up with one icing on the bottom and the other on top.
