  This recipe is so easy as can do all in one bowl. I cooked in my fan oven for exactly 25 mins as stated and had fun the next day with my 7 year old decorating these. They were fantastically moist and yummy. Definatly worth doing even if not decorating them.

  Help please, what did I do wrong? Made these last night for kids to decorate today, but the bottom wasnt flat and it was quite doughy in the middle, but a lovely colour on top. Any advice please?

  I have to agree with the previous comment, I made these last night so simple to make but I found the inside a bit doughy... Going to try these again at the weekend !!!

  Me too! Uneven bottom to the cakes and quite doughy and heavy in the middle. A bit disappointing really. Good have been great as the recipe is really easy for the kids to follow. My daughter made them for her brownie hostess badge.

  I made these yesterday! I divided the mixture into about 16 cases and they turned out beautiful! So light and fluffy :D

  Taking onboard the previous comments I added a little more flour (300g altogether) and divided into 17 cases. They are too sweet for me but they look pretty for the school fete!

  Made this recipe twice now - first time in my new mixer - very stodgy and again using a hand held electric whisk. Followed recipe to the letter and again got stodgy buns that look more bread like than light sponge. Shame as this is a simple recipe with good ingredients. I won't be using it again. No stars from me.
