Chocolate and Raisin Cupcakes
I made these super simple cupcakes the other day, remember I am not a very good baker :-) and got a couple of simple gel cake decorating pens for our little one to decorate them afterwards.
Hubby and I like simple cakes without the butter or heavy frosting but your welcome to Jazz them up a little!
Ingredients:
- 4 oz self raising flour
- 4 oz sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 oz butter
- 2 tablespoon cocoa
- handful of raisins
- dash of vanilla essence
Method:
- cream the sugar and butter till light and fluffy
- add the eggs and flour little by little
- then mix in the raisins, vanilla and cocoa
- bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes until firm
She added a splash of color, but to be honest 2 year olds aren't really into the baking thing yet lol
Love to you all
