Ingredients (Makes 6 big or 12 small)
100g sugar
100g unsalted butter – softened
150g plain flour – sifted
2 eggs – beaten
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 JAZZ™ Apple – peeled, cored and finely diced
1-2 tbsp milk
Frosting, optional
Marshmallows, optional
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4 and line a cupcake tin with cupcake cakes.
Add the sugar, butter, flour, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract and 1 tbsp milk to a large mixing bowl, stand mixer or food processor. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the finely diced apple, followed by an additional splash of milk if the cake batter is too thick.
Spoon the cake batter into the cupcake cases, filling each one by around half.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Test by inserting a dinner knife into the cakes, if it comes out clean the cakes are cooked.
Leave to cool slightly on a rack before optionally finishing with frosting and marshmallows.
