Here's an allergy friendly cup cake recipe that works brilliantly for Halloween treats. Thanks to Natalie Hallett for sharing this with us all. If you want to try Natalie's adorable pumpkins, they are made out of fondant, coloured with orange gel food colouring, rolled into shape and left to set overnight.
Cupcakes
1Preheat oven to 180ºC. Line a 12 cupcake tray with cupcake papers.
2Place the Nuttelex and sugar in bowl and beat till creamy. Add the golden syrup gradually, using a spatula to slowly fold the mixture. Then beat the mixture for another minute and add the milk.
3Add the flour and mix till you have a smooth batter.
4Sieve in the cocoa a tablespoon at a time mixing thoroughly. Keep mixing until the whole mixture is the same colour.
5Add the bi-carb soda and the baking powder separately and keep mixing until the sodas have been fully absorbed. Add vanilla essence and mix again.
6Spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases until they are 1/2 full as these cupcakes rise a lot.
7Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
8Let cupcakes cool before decorating.
