Jam Doughnut Cupcakes

I like doughnuts and I like cake so this seemed like the perfect idea, why not make jam filled vanilla cupcakes!

You will need: 2 eggs, self-raising flour, caster sugar, butter, vanilla essence, milk, and some homemade jam (or shop bought if you really have none)

1.  Pre-Heat the oven to 180 degrees C
2. Weigh the 2 eggs together, then measure out the flour, sugar, and butter to that weight.
3. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large-ish bowl.
4. Beat in the 2 eggs and a splash of vanilla essence.
5. Sift in the flour, and stir until well combined, in the mixture is stiff (won't drop off your wooden spoon easily) add a little milk and stir again.
6. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the mix in to cupcake cases. DO NOT FINISH THE MIXTURE DOING THIS.
7. Bake fore 5minutes/ until the mix has flattened out in the cases.
8. Take the half-cakes out of the oven, and spoon your jam in to the centre of the partly cooked cake mix. I chose my mums blackcurrant jam duh.
9. Follow this by adding more cake mix on top of the jam, and bake again for approx. 15 minutes
10. And as always eat with a cup of tea and a good book.
