Laura's Notes: 20 minutes, medium eggs, low-medium level in the oven, muffin cases. Maybe would make more in cupcake cases? Using cinnamon and nutmeg in icing gave it beautiful flecks of brown.

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to gas 4/180C and line a 12 hole cupcake tin with large cupcake cases or muffin cases. Once the oven has preheated mix all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon until there aren’t any lumps or traces of egg yolk visible. Pay particular attention to the sugar as it can sit in lumps. Spoon into the cases evenly and bake for 20 – 25 minutes until well risen and a toothpick comes out of the middle of the centre cupcakes clean. Cool on a wire rack out of the tin.

Step 2

Should you wish to make some buttercream (like the picture) then a very good recipe that works well with these cakes is 125g room temperature butter beaten until really soft and creamy, then add 250g sifted icing sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Lastly add 2tbsp Monin gingerbread syrup and beat well again for 7 minutes using a stand or hand mixer until really light, creamy and flecked with air like mousse. Then use a knife to plaster the top of each cupcake with icing and sprinkle with gingerbread men sprinkles. If you don’t want to invest in gingerbread syrup (though it is very good in coffee and frankly any Christmas related baked good) then use 1 tbsp vanilla extract with 1/4 tsp cinnamon and a little grated nutmeg (barely 1/8 tsp). Keep tasting (oh the hardship) to make sure you’re happy with the flavour.
