Sticky Toffee Cupcakes

Cupcakes are always my favourite things to bake because theres so many different kinds you can make that you'd never get bored. This time I decided on some toffee cupcakes.

So for these, I used this recipe for cupcakes.

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 180 g self-raising flour
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 80 g unsalted butter
• 150 g muscovado sugar
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

The original recipe had dates in as well but I'm not a huge fan of dates so I opted to leave them out.

Just put everything in to a bowl and mixed well. Then it was placed in cupcake cases and baked for twenty minutes on 180 degrees.

After the cupcakes were made, I used a shop bought toffee sauce and pricked the cakes a few times with a fork before drizzling the sauce over the top of the cakes so it would soak it.

Finally, I made a butter icing by just combining vanilla extract, icing sugar and butter before piping it onto the top of the cakes. They were then decorated with a few chocolate chips and more toffee sauce. Easy!
