I have spoken before about the need for simplicity in cooking. Why cream butter and sugar when there is an easier way? Here is how you make easy cup cakes ....
1. Get a bowl.
2. Into the bowl put: one packet cake mix (Green's); 1 packet of instant pudding (Cottee's); 1/3 cup vegetable oil; 2 eggs; lemonade.
How much lemonade? Add about 1/4 can and beat the mixture, then keep adding until it looks like cake batter. Don't worry, you'll know.
3. Put the mix into paper cases and bake at 180 for 25 minutes. (Which I know to be accurate in my oven. You will have to play with yours)
Very, very important things .... preheat the oven!!!!! The cake mix flavour and pudding flavour should be the same.
When they are cold, you ice. My favourite icing is whipped ganache (which is what the picture is iced with). The brown ones are just milk chocolate ganache and the grey looking ones are white chocolate with Oreos whipped through. That nearly killed my industrial beater!
