Roar-some cupcakes

Method

This recipe makes 6 cupcakes and icing but can easily be doubled for a full dozen!

For the cupcakes

1. Preheat the oven to 180c/gas mark 4
2. Add all the ingredients to a bowl and beat with an electric beater until the mix becomes fluffy and pale in colour (approximately 2-3 minutes)
3. Line a cupcake tin with cases
4. Fill each cupcake case with 1-2 tablespoons of mix
5. Cook for 15-20 minutes until risen and golden on top
6. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before placing on a wire cooling rack

For the Icing

1. Ensure the cupcakes are completely cool before icing.
2. Put the icing sugar, milk and Rodda’s clotted cream in a bowl and whisk to combine. The mix will go very loose.
3. Continue to whisk until it has formed a thick cream.
4. Add in 2-3 drops of food colouring, and a swirl of lemon curd or jam to jazz up the icing.
5. Put into a piping bag and swirl on top of your cupcakes.
6. Decorate with sprinkles, fruit or chocolate!
