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)
- Pre-Heat the oven to 180 degrees C
- Weigh the 2 eggs together, then measure out the flour, sugar, and butter to that weight.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a large-ish bowl.
- Beat in the 2 eggs and a splash of vanilla essence.
- 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.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of the mix in to cupcake cases. DO NOT FINISH THE MIXTURE DOING THIS.
- Bake fore 5minutes/ until the mix has flattened out in the cases.
- 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.
- Follow this by adding more cake mix on top of the jam, and bake again for approx. 15 minutes
- And as always eat with a cup of tea and a good book.
