Hi Wayne, thanks for the note, you just need to add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Let us know what you thought of them!
I absolutely did not like this recipe. The cake was heavy and unlike any previous recipes I have tried.

Stunning recipe, they came out perfectly – so incredibly easy to make and delicious!
This recipe is fabulous, it has become my tried and trusted base for every cupcake batch I ever make!
It’s really durable, and i switch up the flavours to change the cakes every time.
My best yet is to add cocoa and coffee granules, shove a square of bar-one chocolate into the middle of the cupcake and bake as per instructions. Top with mocha icing and it’s delicious
Tank you for my fool-proof, flop-proof favourite recipe!
first time i tried this recipe and it worked wonderfully tasted great and the whole family loved them….
thanks

I made this recipe for the kids to give to the mom’s for mother’s day (I work at a nursery school) I mixed in pink food colouring, they came out great. One of the mom’s asked for the recipe. Thumbs up and thanks
