try it.. you know you want to..

there's hardly any left.. it was truly gorgeous.. it seemed like a lot of cocoa, as I used five eggs, but it was worth it.. totally YUMMMMMMM!!

nice cake Claire. If I tried cooking with a laptop in the vicinity, I think it would end in tears!

Cupcake recipe

8oz margarine
8oz caster sugar
4 lg eggs
8oz plain flour (i used GF flour)
2tsp baking powder (I used GF bp)
icing or buttercream and sprinkles

Put all ingredients into a large bowl and whisk for 2 mins with an electric handmixer, or slightly longer by hand. Add a couple of tablespoons of water if the mix is too thick. Spoon into muffin cases but only half fill as they rise well. Bake for approx 20-25 mins at gas 4 until risen and slightly brown. Cool, ice, sprinkle then eat, eat eat!!!!
Makes approx 18-20 cakes. You can halve the recipe if you want less cakes....but that would be madness, in my view!!!

This gluten-free lemon drizzle cake uses mashed potato in the recipe, which sounds interesting.....

• Tip into the tin, level the top, then bake for 40-45 mins or until golden and a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
• Turn out onto a wire rack after 10 mins cooling.

• Let the cake cool completely before slicing. (and scoffing :D)
