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 sprinklesPut 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.....

- 2 tsp gluten-free baking powder (Supercook does one)
For the drizzle- 4 tbsp granulated sugar

Method- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
- Butter and line a deep, 20cm round cake tin.
- Beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy, then gradually add the egg, beating after each addition.
- Fold in the almonds, cold mashed potato, lemon zest and baking powder.
- 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.
