  Loved this recipe. I made mini muffins instead of cupcakes, 1 batch made 48! I also topped with vanilla buttercream. Very very tasty, everyone loved them!

  OMG. I've never ever made decent cupcakes. They turn our heavy like cement or burn on top and raw in middle or just too damp. But this recipe was AMAZING. I couldn't be bothered shelling 100g of pistachios so I used 40g and topped up with ground almonds. Used golden caster sugar but didn't have enough so added light brown sugar to make up the rest. I warmed the milk before adding and added one teaspoon of baking powder as it was all-in-one method. Baked on bottom shelf at 160 and after 25 mins they came out perfect. They were light and fluffy. The taste is divine and I just melted white choc on top with a pistachio. Thank you for a brilliant recipe!!!

  This was great! Didn't use icing sugar. Instead whipped some cream, with a bit of sugar and ground cardomom + saffron to top the cakes. It was exceptional!

  Mixture made me 14, they were light and fluffy and very tasty. For a healthier option I used half wholemeal and half regular self-raising flour and the cupcakes still rose perfectly. They took 25+ minutes to cook for me. I had a cupcake tray but put cake cases inside it still, when cooked and taken out of this cupcake case there were oils that had seeped though the cupcake cases. Will be baking these again.
