1 syn cupcakes
6 eggs
56g S.R. Flour (or 28g cocoa and 28g flour if you want chocolate cup cakes) (9 syns)
9 tablespoons of sweetener
2 teaspoons orange or vanilla flavouring
Topping
4 tbsp icing sugar (12 syns)
2 tbsp cocoa powder or 1x 11g Belgian Chocolate Option Sachet (2 syn)
water to mix cocoa and icing sugar
----------------------------------------------------------------
Whisk egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl whisk egg yolks with orange/vanilla flavouring, sweetener and ¼ of the egg whites and mix till pale yellow.
Add the flour gradually and fold into the mix carefully, when done add the rest of the egg whites and fold in . Divide between 20-22 cupcake cases and bake in the oven at 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4 for about 10 -12 minutes or until firm to the touch.
Wait until cool and then mix the cocoa and icing sugar with water to make a thickish paste, add a spoonful to each cupcake and 3 chocolate drops and serve.
If you get a tin of light aerosol cream you can make a hole in the side and squirt some in making a gorgeous profiterole at only 1.5 - 2 syns each , after speaking to the lady who devised this recipe she feels it would be better to squirt the cream on the side and not try to put it inside.
Replace the icing/frosting with 2 tablespoons reduced sugar Jam and 1 tablespoon of desiccated coconut (still only 1 syn each cake) to make gorgeous Madeleine’s .
Makes about 22 good size cakes
1 syn per cake
