Once the cupcakes have cooled, carefully cut out a section in the centre of the cake. Fill with candy of your choice then place the top of the removed section back on the cake (like a hat). 

For chocolate and Daim bar frosting: Melt a chocolate of your choice and drizzle over cupcakes. Top with crushed Daim bar.

Gluten Free Scotch Pancakes

A recipe for around a dozen gluten free pancakes. You can make this recipe lactose free by replacing the butter with oil, and vegan by replacing the egg with 1/2 a mashed banana. 

Equipment

Fish Slice/ Egg Spatula

Frying Pan

Measuring Jug

Mixing Bowl

Mug

Scales

Spoon

Whisk

Ingredients

1 tsp Baking Powder

2 tbsp Butter or Vegetable/Coconut Oil

2 tbsp Caster Sugar or Honey

1 Medium Egg

135g Free From Plain Flour

130ml Milk/Milk alternative

Method

Place non-stick frying pan on the hob on a low heat and allow to warm up while making the mixture.

Place butter in microwavable mug and microwave on full heat for approximately 30 seconds or until melted, then allow to cool. If using honey then heat in the microwave until softened, take care not to over heat. 

Sift together the flour and baking powder then add in the honey/sugar. In another bowl whisk together the melted butter/oil, milk and egg. 

Combine the two mixtures together and whisk to remove any lumps. 

Place a tablespoon of batter in the middle of the frying pan. Wait for the pancake to begin to bubble, then using the fish slice, gently flip the pancake over and cook until both sides are golden brown. 

Repeat until the mixture is used up.

A lactose free, strawberry, and dark chocolate sponge cake as requested by a friend. We made this lactose free by replacing the butter with a lactose free alternative. Most supermarkets stock a lactose free butter but oil can be used as an alternative.

Basic Cupcakes

A simple recipe for around 24 cupcakes or a standard sized double-tier sponge cake. We like to add a capful of vanilla essence to give it more of a vanilla flavour however this isn’t essential.

Equipment

2 Cupcake Trays

Cupcake Cases

Hand Mixer

Mixing Bowl

Scales

Spoon/ Spatula

Ingredients

250g Butter

250g Caster Sugar

4 Medium Eggs

250g Self-Raising Flour. For gluten free cake mix, replace flour with gluten free self-raising flour blend. 

For a chocolate cake mix: 30g cocoa powder

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180ºC/355ºF. Line cupcake trays with cupcake cases.

Combine butter and caster sugar and beat until soft and creamy.

Add eggs one at a time, adding a table spoon of flour with each egg to prevent curdling. 

Fold in the rest of the flour using a spoon or spatula in a figure of eight movement. During this step, be careful not to knock the air out of the mixture. If making a chocolate or vanilla cake, add the cocoa power/vanilla essence before adding flour. 

Spoon a table spoon of mixture into each case. Each case should be about 3/4 full.

Place cakes on the middle shelf of oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. To check if the cakes are done, press lightly on the middle of the cake and it should spring back. If not, return to oven for a couple more minutes 

Remove from cupcake tray and leave to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, decorate as you wish.
