I can’t believe I only saw this now!!! I am honored!

I made them the other day for a party with a chocolate frosting I got from the Magnolia recipe on YouTube. Needless to say, it was a hit – and nobody noticed I delivered them in shoe boxes;)

You know, I make a cake with this recipe! ingredients/instructions are all the same, I just add the peel and juice of half a lemon and leave it in the over for one hour. No icing, but it’s yummy!

I made these for a bonfire night party and wow, were they well received! They were also incredibly filling so NEXT time, I will use fairy cake papers to make them smaller.
I used a one cup measure (250ml size) for the ingredient measuring and then threw in an extra egg and some pure vanilla extract because I felt like it. Using larger American-sized cupcake papers, and filling them using a 1/3 cup measure (2/3s full) I got 30 cupcakes. I doubled the frosting recipe, again with the vanilla and piped on a frill of buttercream that covered the cupcakes and scattered mini M&Ms over the top. REALLY pretty.
For the neutral veg oil, I used raisin seed oil. Perfect.
Thank you so much for this recipe!

OK, so they look wonderful but am I really the only one going ‘Yoghurt? Yoghurt!’ and what the hell is a neutral vegetable oil? Is it something they make in Switzerland?

I am destined to be cupcake-less in a cupcake filled world…

I’m impressed! They look like the ones you buy at Hummingbird Bakery or Primrose Hill Bakery or Maison Valerie (can you tell I frequent a lot of cupcake shops?). I’m going to give these a go for Halloween substituting day glo orange and green instead of your lovely pastels.

Exactly! That’s what I mean! Knowing how to make a good cupcake (and oh god, were they good!) pretty much guarantees a free card to good housewifedom! Darling MM, you cannot deny it any longer. You are on your way to becoming a cuter blonder version of a mini London MS (London Martha Stewart)! Oui oui! No compaints here:) xxx LZ

Oh my gawd you lied – I knew it! You ARE a good housewife. I’ve never even made a cupcake. That’s it. I’m going to have to make them right this minute. And I need one of those fancy cake stands too. I’m ashamed I don’t own one already.

They look FABULOUS darling. And quite frankly, I don’t care what they taste like, it’s all in the presentation. And your presentation is to die for. No more putting yourself down for your cooking skills now.
