VVAANNIILLLLAA CCPPCCAAKKEESS
Makes 6
50g unsalted butter, at room temperature
50g caster sugar
1 medium egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
50g self-raising flour
For the frosting
100g white chocolate
125ml soured cream
raspberries or sweets, to decorate
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 10 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 chocolate has melted smoothly.
5. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate cool slightly.
Gently stir the soured cream into the cooled chocolate until thick
and creamy. Spoon the frosting onto the cooled cakes and decorate
with raspberries or sweets.
13. Do not use the cupcake maker if the power cord or plug show any signs of damage, or if the product
is dropped, damaged or working incorrectly. Call the helpline on 015394 88100 to arrange a repair or
replacement. Never try to repair the cupcake maker yourself as this may cause electric shock.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TI E
Carefully unpack the cupcake maker and remove any packaging. Wipe the outside of the cupcake maker
and the non-stick cooking surfaces with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth. Do not immerse in water
or any other liquid, and avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers as they will damage the product.
USING YOUR CUPCAKE AKER
Baking a batch of cupcakes is incredibly easy with the cupcake maker, which turns out 6 light, fluffy cakes
in around 8 to 10 minutes. The cupcake holes should be lined with cake cases before adding the mixture.
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 orange power light will come on to show the cupcake maker is heating up.
2. After around 5 minutes, the green ready light will come on. Lift the lid, taking great care not to touch
the hot surfaces. Line the 6 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 AND CLEANING.
PLEASE NOTE: do not use metal utensils to lift out the baked cakes as this will damage the non-stick
surface.

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.
Fitting a new plug
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 Neutral (N)
Connect GREEN & YELLOW to Earth (E)
Connect BROWN 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 UST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter E (Earth) or coloured green.
The wire which is coloured blue UST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N
(Neutral) or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown UST 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 a
13 amp BS1362 fuse. Only BSI or ASTA approved fuses should be used. If you are at all unsure which plug
or fuse to use, always refer to a qualified electrician.
Note: 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
can be obtained from an electrical shop. This appliance complies with the following EEC Directives: 73/23
EEC (Low Voltage Directive) and 89/336 EEC (E C Directive).

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.
CAUTION: 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.
