Ingredients
120g | Butter softened |
75g | Light brown sugar |
75g | Caster sugar |
180g | Plain flour all-purpose |
1½ | teaspoons Baking powder |
2 | Eggs large, free-range |
2 | teaspoons Vanilla extract |
Zest of a lemon | |
60g | Soured cream or Greek yoghurt |
2 | tablespoons Milk |
400ml | Double cream |
150ml | Warninks advocaat |
Decorations of choice |
Instructions
- Put 12 cupcake cases into the holes of a cupcake baking tin and preheat the oven to 180℃/ 350℉.
- Cream the butter and sugar together using electric beaters until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, soured cream and lemon zest.
- Sieve the flour and baking powder into the bowl. Fold in using a large metal spoon, scraping to the bottom of the bowl to ensure a good mix. Stop mixing when the batter looks smooth and no streaks of flour remain.
- Divide the batter between the baking cases, filling each one no more than 2/3 full.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden and a cocktail stick poked into the centre of one comes out clean.
- When the cakes have cooled completely whip the cream and Warninks advocaat together until it reaches the soft peaks stage.
- Spoon the advocaat cream into a piping bag fitted with a wide nozzle. Pipe a generous amount of the cream onto each cupcake and decorate as desired.
Ideas for Decoration
- Easter: top each cupcake with 3 Mini Eggs and some grated chocolate
- General: opt for sprinkles of your choice, try some edible flowers or crystalised violets.
- Christmas: top with desiccated coconut and a maraschino cherry for those Snowball vibes.
Note: Once topped with the advocaat cream, these cupcakes will need to be stored in the fridge. It’s best to add the decorations just before serving as some can discolour if stored in the fridge.
Add a bit of Spring into the long Bank Holiday weekend with these pretty cupcakes. Double cream and Warninks makes for a delicious whipped creamy topping.
