For the cupcakes

Now let's see how to make biscoff cupcakes; preheat the oven to 180°C/ 160°C fan oven/ Gas mark 4. Line a 12 hole muffin tray with Baking Cases.

2

In a bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3

Add the egg and Caramel Flavour and mix until combined – if the mixture begins to curdle add a spoonful of flour.

4

Sieve the flour and Baking Powder on top and fold into the mixture until fully combined.

Divide the mixture evenly between the Baking Cases and place in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and risen. Once baked remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tray for 10 minutes and then place on cooling rack to cool completely.

To decorate

Once the cupcakes are cooled, take a sharp knife and cut a circle out of the top of each cake at an angle about 1cm (½ inch) from the edge. Chop the middle off the circle of sponge to it is flat. Fill the hole with a tsp of biscoff spread and place the sponge back on top.
