I’m thinking of
turning Dig In over to my mum (actually she suggested it first). Or, baking
cakes only after mum has successfully, deliciously, tried the recipe first.
Mum’s orange and
sultana cupcakes
Adapted from
‘Better Baking’. Originally a small loaf cake, I made the recipe as cupcakes to use
up some baking papers. Either way, it goes nicely with an afternoon cup of tea.
- Preheat your oven to 160 and prep your muffin tins.
- Cream 90 gms soft butter with ¾ cup sugar and the zest of 1 orange.
- Beat in 2 eggs.
- Sift in 1½ cups SR flour.
- Fold in ½ cup sour cream and ½ cup sultanas.
- Add mixture to tin and bake until done; cupcakes will only take about 25 minutes.
Delicious, I love a little sultana cupcake. My mum used to bake something very similar to this for us as children. So soft and comforting.
ReplyDeletethere is something homely and un-trendy and enduring about sultana cakes, isn't there jane?
