INGREDIENTS

  • 165 g self-raising flour
  • 165 g caster sugar
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 165 g butter or soft margarine
  • 135 ml Baileys Irish Cream
  • tsp salt

Extras

  • 12 cupcake cases

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Pre-heat your oven to 160ºC/140ºC fan.
  • Place your cupcake cases into a muffin tin.
  • Sift the self-raising flour (165g) into a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients (3 medium eggs, 165g soft margarine, 165g caster sugar, ⅛ tsp salt and 135ml Baileys) and mix until fully combined (either by hand or using an electric mixer on a low speed).
  • Divide the mixture equally between the muffin cases (I use a cupcake scoop to help split it evenly).
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave the cupcakes to cool in their tins for about 10 minutes and then move them to a wire rack to cool fully before decorating.

NOTES
