Not only did i master a new piping technique (more on that later) i am pleased to say that this simple recipe has made some truly scrummy little cakes!
I adapted the recipe from this glorious apple muffin recipe - it contains no butter, so makes a really light batter, perfect for loading with apple!
Makes 8 muffins, or 24 little cakes
Mix 200g plain flour, 100g caster sugar, 2 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl, and a generous amount of cinnamon.
Add one egg, 90ml skimmed milk, 80ml vegetable oil and 5 drops of vanilla extract. Stir until just combined - it will be a thick lumpy batter.
Chop a whole dessert apple, and fold into the mixture. Put into paper cake cases - the prettier the better! Then bake for 20 minutes at 200.
Now, my favourite bit, the frosting! I made buttercream frosting, with vanilla essence. I then striped it, my new favourite techique! To stripe frosting paint 3 or 4 lines of colouring all the way down the inside of your piping bag, and as if by magic, it comes out like this!
