Victoria Sandwich Cupcakes

Eggs Or vegan egg replacement
Sugar

Self raising flour

Sunflower or soya spread

Vanilla extract

This is the basic recipe for a Victoria sponge, it makes quick and easy cupcakes 

Weigh the eggs, and then weigh out equal amounts of sugar, flour and spread

If using egg replacement do the same, so make up the equivalent of 2-6 eggs and weigh to determine how much you need of the rest of the ingredients.

Cream the sugar and spread by hand or with an electric mixer, then add the eggs or egg replacement and vanilla. 

Sieve the flour into the above mixture and fold in gently with a metal spoon, you may need to add a little milk 

Spoon the mixture into paper cupcake cases and bake in the oven at 180 C (without fan)   for 20 min

Allow the cakes to cool before decorating them

I also made the cake stand, cut out 3 circles of cardboard and the same of coloured wrapping paper, glue the paper to the card, for the central column part (don't know what to call them!) I covered plastic pots with paper and superglued everything together... or you can now buy cardboard cake stands in most supermarkets.
