• step 2

  Then put a paper cake case in each hole of your cupcake tray.

  Divide the mixture out evenly between 12 cases. Put the tray into the oven for 20 minutes to bake. The cakes should be golden once baked.

• step 8

  Whilst the cakes are baking, wash and dry your equipment (whisk and bowl).

• step 9

  Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let it cool.

  Once cooled, decorate the cupcakes with butter cream and marshmallows on top.

• step 11

  Eat the cupcakes and enjoy!
