GIANT cupcake (nom!)
Haha I love this pic, Leith just reminds me of a puppy dog that can see a treat but isn’t allowed to eat it yet
I’d been eyeing up a giant cupcake mould after I saw it on www.catchoftheday.com.au and I hunted around and finally got one for $10 – bargain!
Teeny came around to help me try it out. We made this sponge cake mix from the Edmonds cookbook:
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ C caster sugar
- 2 C plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 100g butter, melted
- Food colouring
Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C and grease cupcake mould with butter
- Beat eggs and salt
- Add sugar and beat until thick
- Sift flour and baking powder, then add to egg mixture
- Fold in butter
- Divide into thirds then gently fold in food colouring as desired (we chose red, purple & blue)
- Pour mixture into mould
- Bake for 20 mins or until cake springs back when lightly touched
- Leave in mould for 10 mins before turning out onto a wire rack
Assembly
The top & bottom of the cupcake bake separately so before we put the top on we decided to put a secret surprise in the middle. We scooped out a hollow for the base of the cupcake, melted white choc around the scooped section then filled it with cream (we put the choc on to stop the cake from going soggy, plus it tastes good too). Then we placed the top on and covered the cake with cream and decorated with choc sprinkes & silver balls so it looked like a cupcake
