No doubt you’ll be keen to jump right in and start making cupcakes – and who could blame you?
But first you’ll need some stuff to make cupcakes with. You may well have the flour, eggs and
sugar etc to hand, but it’s important to us that your first experience with this product is a good
one, so we recommend using cake mix for your first batch. They’re available from all supermar-
kets. Usually you just need to add water/milk and an egg to these mixes and they all give great
results with very little waste. Follow the instructions on the packet to make the mixture and try to
be as accurate as possible when measuring the water/milk because liquid content is important for
consistent results.
TIP: Did you know you can weigh the water instead of measuring it? 150ml of water weighs
150 grams – accurate enough for milk too. That’s handy isn’t it? Hooray for the metric
system.
OK so if you really don’t want to use cake mix for your Cupcake Maker’s inaugural outing then use
the basic recipe below:
225g
self raising flour
100g
castor sugar
150ml milk
2 x
medium eggs (about 60g each)
125g
butter (softened or melted)
½ tsp
vanilla essence
Mix the ingredients in a bowl – preferably with a lovely Swan Hand Mixer – until a smooth consist-
ency is reached. Careful not to over mix it though, as you could end up with very bouncy cupcakes
– and scowls from the kids.
Grease the Cupcake Maker cooking plate with a little vegetable oil or spray on grease (best). Or
you can use suitably sized cupcake cases. Close the lid and switch it on. The (green) warming
light will come on until the correct temperature has been reached. Then the red ready light will
come on.
When the red ready light comes on, carefully open the lid. Use a desert spoon to fill each cupcake
compartment or case with mixture - no more than 2/3 full.
Be careful because the cooking
surface will be very hot!
Try to work quickly with filling the compartments as cooking will start
immediately.
Close the lid
The cooking time for most types of mix is between 5 and 8 minutes. Resist the temptation to have
a peek before the first 5 minutes is up. Pupcakes don’t like to be disturbed while they’re cooking!
After 5 minutes, lift the lid and have a look. They should be risen and cooked, but you do have the
option of closing the lid and giving them another few minutes if you think they need it. This varies
from mix to mix and the type of recipe used.
