3. Add the flour to the mixture and stir, stir STIR…

4. Once the mixture looks like the image below, it’s ready for the paper cases!

5.  Fill the 12 paper cases as show in the image below and then pop in the oven, on the middle shelf for 10/15 mins

6. Watch the cupcakes rise and get excited [try to refrain from opening the oven door!]
