Billington's

Psst. We have the secret to make your already awesome bakes phenomenal. Introducing the finest quality caster sugar for baking – Billington’s Golden Caster Sugar.
What is golden caster sugar? The perfect natural alternative to refined sugar. You can use it in the exact same way and quantity as caster sugar, however, this ingredient adds a magical touch to your bake; a warm golden colour and subtle buttery flavour, ideal for light and fluffy sponge cakes, satisfying shortbreads and dainty macaroons.

Allinson's

Is plain flour and all-purpose flour the same thing? In answer, yes and it is a staple baking ingredient in most kitchens.
We love Allinson’s Plain White Flour as it is expertly milled from British wheat. Whilst it doesn’t contain any raising agent, like Self-Raising Flour, it is often combined with baking powder or bicarbonate of soda in a recipe to create a beautiful rise in the oven.
This flour makes a whole host of bakes from scrummy scones to pretty tarts and pastries, producing a light and delicate texture. Also, a handy ingredient to have around when thickening sauces.

Silver Spoon

Are you even baking if your kitchen isn’t covered in icing sugar? A staple ingredient for all baking when whipping up deliciousness. We love Silver Spoon Icing Sugar as it is the only sugar homegrown in the East of England using sugar beets. This fine, refined white icing sugar, helps blend the fluffiest of buttercream icing to top your cupcakes and fill your Victoria Sponges.&nbsp;
It is so versatile that with this tiniest touch of water it can transform into to smooth velvety icing to flood ice your biscuits or drizzle over your cakes. With its crisp white finish, it is the perfect blank canvas to colour, flavour and personalise to suit your individual baking style.

Baileys and Chocolate Mini Cupcakes Recipe

Preheat the oven to 170°C (gas mark 3) and place mini cupcake cases in a mini cupcake or muffin tin.

Place the butter, sugar, flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a large bowl and using a hand held or freestanding electric mixer, slowly mix together until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Mix together the egg, Baileys and milk in a jug then gradually add to the bowl and mix thoroughly.

Spoon the batter into the cupcake cases until they are 2/3 full.&nbsp;Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown and a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

To make the frosting mix together the butter and icing sugar until it resembles breadcrumbs in texture, then add the milk and Baileys and mix on a high speed until the frosting is soft and fluffy.

Decorated the cupcakes with frosting using either a piping bag or palette knife and finish with a dusting of cocoa powder.

Great recipe. Like the fact it only uses 1 egg!

I used red velvet baileys and it worked so well! Defo making these when the girls come to visit.

I made regular sized cupcakes with this recipe, a lovely taste, you can really taste the baileys.

I made the large size muffins so only made 12.  Very easy to make but needed more cooking time as they were large.  Far more frosting than was needed could have halved the recipe and still had plenty left.  also, I only had chocolate bailetys which worked just as well.  Tasted beautiful and would make again.
