I'm the biggest summer baby and when the season starts to turn cold and the leaves fall to the ground there's always two places I know I can turn to for comfort... food and booze (like most things in life). So with this thought in mind I've made these cosy cupcakes, packed with Cointreau, Cinnamon, Currents and comforting calories, which will hopefully make the season transition a little easier because even I can admit sitting indoors with something warm and something sweet when it's cold out is pretty lavelllyyy.
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 170oC. Cream together 2oz of sugar, 2oz of caster sugar and then mix in one medium egg.
STEP TWO: Add roughly two tablespoons of golden syrup (I've got the maple flavour) 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, two handfuls of dried fruits and of course a decent glug n a bit of Cointreau
STEP THREE: Add 2oz of self raising flour and a quarter teaspoon of baking powder, mix together and separate into 6 cupcake cases. Cook for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool then decorate with vanilla frosting and if you're feeling fancy make some leaves out of fondant to decorate. Now make yourself a hot chocolate, get into your jammies, put on Breakfast At Tiffany's and enjoy!
