    I use this recipe all the time, sometimes I omit the cocoa and add other flavours to the sponge. Also I add colours and flavours to the buttercream. I half the recipe for 12 good size cupcakes (though it always makes 13!!). All my non-gluten free friends and family enjoy them and I have made lots of variations for birthdays, Christmas, New Year etc. Highly recommend this recipe.

    I'm with Pitstop on this one! This recipe produces amazing sponges. I use the weights stated above and make 12 (smallish) cupcakes and a proper sponge cake too as there's tons of mixture. It works particularly well with lemon juice and zest for a lemon drizzle cake. I also use dairy-free Pure sunflower margarine. No one can tell it's free from anything either. Well done Adam McCabe and Good Food!

    These came out fabulous! They are light and fluffy with good flavour. I added 50g of dark choc chips at the end. I got 16 35g cupcakes out of half the mix.
