Cadbury Reindeer Cakes, 4 x 32g

Product Information

In theory you could use margarine in this recipe. The main thing is that it should have a fat content of around 80% (80g per 100g) so that it behaves a similar way to butter. If you use a water-based margarine, such as a low-fat spread - you will not get the same results. Also it’s quite fiddly getting the cake batter out of a food processor which might mean you lose some of the mix. All the ingredient quantities will update automatically for you so that everything is in the right ratios. Can I make these Reindeer cupcakes as one big cake?

Don’t worry if your cupcakes are still wet at the end of the cooking time. The timing on the recipe is a guide. As explained above, every oven is a bit different and many household ovens have inconsistent temperatures, so they might take a little longer to cook properly.In a sealed container somewhere cool, your cupcakes should certainly keep for 2-3 days - the frosting contains dairy but it also contains a large amount of sugar, which prevents it from going bad too rapidly. tablespoon of crushed chia seeds or flax seeds mixed with 2 tablespoons of water and left for 10 minutes in the fridge. Chia seeds are a super absorbent seed that can soak up to 12 times their weight in water. When they absorb water they develop a texture like raw egg whites and begin to act as a binding agent in a similar way to eggs. Flax seeds behave in the same way, though you’ll need to crush them first as their shells are too hard to absorb water unbroken. If you used all the right quantities of ingredients and they still turned out dry or burned, then it means cupcakes have either been in the oven too long, or the oven temperature was too high.

I haven't tried to make this recipe as one big cake but in theory it should work because it's fundamentally a sponge cake recipe.
