I'm a bit of a fuss pot when it comes to cupcakes. I can't stand inches of sickly sweet icing - it's way too overwhelming for me! I want a lot of sponge cake and a nice morish amount of buttercream icing sitting pretty on the top, yum!So I've been trying a ton of recipes in my search for the perfect vanilla cupcake and this Primrose Bakery recipe has to be my favourite so far*. I saw online that some people have complained that the sponge is a bit too dense & I'd agree that in a Victoria sponge, it would probably be a little too heavy, but for me the slightly denser sponge works a treat with a small cupcake :)
If you give the recipe a go, do let me know what you think!
*Apologies for the Daily Mail link - it was the only place I could find the recipe online. I'm not a big fan of that paper!
Ooo, I have been on the lookout for a great recipe.
ReplyDeleteI will let you know!!
It sounds delicious! I love the sponge too! xo Samantha
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute cupcake. If this is your favorite, it must really be super. I have a linky party on my blog every week called "Sweets for a Saturday" and I'd like to invite you to stop by tomorrow and link this up.
ReplyDeleteFunny about the daily mail note!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try this, I find that cupcakes get quite dry, so shall try this out next time I'm making. Thanks.
