You will also need:

12 hole cupcake tin and cupcake cases

Step 1 of 4

Preheat the oven to 180°C, (160°C for fan ovens), Gas Mark 4.

Step 2 of 4

Put the cupcake ingredients in a bowl and beat (use an electric hand mixer if you have one!) until light and creamy.

Step 3 of 4

Put the cupcake cases into the tin and spoon in the mixture. Bake for about 15-18 minutes until springy. Cool slightly then lift out onto a cooling rack.

For perfectly even cupcakes use an ice cream scoop to put the mixture into the cases. 

Step 4 of 4

When cool, make the icing: Put the icing sugar, buttery baking spread and vanilla into a large bowl.  Mix the condensed milk and coffee together and add to the ingredients in the bowl.  Whisk with an electric hand mixer, slowly at first, to make a thick icing. Spread or pipe onto the cakes, topping with a walnut half to finish.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great with a cup of Coffee Made these today as a change from my usual chocolate Victoria sandwich cake. I think I will add more coffee next time as just lack the flavour I’d expected. Overall nice sponge recipe.
