VANILLA CUPCAKES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA FROSTING
Makes 14
For the cupca es
60g/2oz caster sugar
60g/2 oz unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
2tsp vanilla extract
60g/2oz self raising flour
For the frosting
60g/2oz white chocolate
100g/3.5oz mascarpone, room temperature
1tsp vanilla extract
Method
1. In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until pale. Add the egg and
vanilla extract, and beat until thoroughly combined.
2. Sift the flour into the bowl and fold into the mixture until almost smooth.
3. Line the cupcake holes with cake cases and spoon the mixture equally
between them. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. When the cakes are ready, turn
them out onto a wire rack to cool.
4. Whilst the cakes are cooling, begin to make the frosting by melting the
chocolate in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir until the

stir the mascarpone into the cooled chocolate until thick and creamy. Pipe

USING YOUR CUPCAKE MAKER
Baking a batch of cupcakes is incredibly easy with the cupcake maker, which turns out 7 light, fluffy
cakes in around 7 to 10 minutes. The cupcake holes should be lined with cake cases before adding the
mixture. The Lakeland Mini Muffin Cases (ref: 5546) are ideal for use with this product. For some
scrumptious ideas to get you started, see our recipes.
1. With the lid closed, place the cupcake maker on a suitable surface and plug into the mains socket.
The green power light will come on to show the cupcake maker is heating up.
2. After around 5 minutes, the red ready light will come on. Lift the lid, taking great care not to touch
the hot surfaces. Line the 7 cupcake holes with cake cases and divide your cupcake mixture between
them; they should be two-thirds full.
3. Close the lid and let the cupcakes bake.
4. After 8 minutes or so, lift the lid and check the cupcakes. They should be risen and springy to the
touch. If you prefer, test them with a wooden cocktail stick, which should come out clean. If the
cakes are not quite ready, close the lid and let them bake a little longer.
5. Once the cakes are ready, unplug the cupcake maker. Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool.
Let the cupcake maker cool completely before cleaning. See CARE A D CLEA I G.
PLEASE OTE: do not use metal utensils to lift out the baked cakes as this will damage the non-stick
CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning the cupcake maker, ensure it is unplugged from the mains socket and completely cool.
Wipe the outside and the non-stick cooking surfaces with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth.
Remove any baked-on food with a plastic-bristled brush or a nylon mesh pad. Abrasive cleaners, steel
wool and scourers will damage the cupcake maker and should be avoided. If you need to use washing-
up liquid, apply a little to the cloth, rather than directly onto the cupcake maker, and ensure all traces
are wiped away.
CAUTIO : never immerse the cupcake maker in water or any liquid, and never pour water
onto the cooking surfaces. Store the cupcake maker with the power cord
loosely coiled; never wrap it tightly around the cupcake maker as this
may damage the cord.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This appliance is fitted with a fused three-pin plug to BS1363 which is suitable for use in all homes fitted
with sockets to current specifications. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should
be cut off and carefully disposed of. To avoid an electric shock, do not insert the discarded plug into a
socket.

If for any reason you need to fit a new plug, the flexible mains lead must be connected as shown here.
The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Connect BLUE to eutral ( )
Connect GREE & YELLOW to Earth (E)
Connect BROW to Live (L)
13 amp fuse to be used
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance do not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire which is coloured green
and yellow MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter E (Earth) or coloured
green. The wire which is coloured blue MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter ( eutral) or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown MUST be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L (Live) or coloured red.
Before refitting the plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of wire inside the plug. Use

plug or fuse to use, always refer to a qualified electrician.
ote: after replacing or changing a fuse on a moulded plug which has a fuse cover, the cover must be
refitted to the plug; the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover. If lost, replacement fuse covers
