Eggnog cupcakes

Page 212 - Eggnog cupcakes

I have been putting off making these as I didn't have any rum essence and couldn't find any in the supermarkets. But I found it online for £2-something in the end. To be honest, they were fine but quite dull - just a vanilla sponge with rum essence and nutmeg in the buttercream. I put some raisins in the sponge and on top to make them in the rum and raisin cupcakes instead. They were tasty but I doubt I'd make them again.

On the plus side - the cases didn't come away from the sponge this time so it must have been the last two recipes that made this happen and not my technique!!
