I'm sure it is identical apart from the extra half lemon juice in the frosting (which I used second time round and thought it improved the icing although made it a bit runny so I would use a little less milk next time). The first time I baked the cup cakes they came out volcano shaped, so the next time I put the oven down a little lower (it is fan assisted so seems to get really hot) and they were just 'fluffy and full'. These are the best cakes ever, everyone who has tried them has loved them. They never hang around for long!!

I'm sorry to hear they sink! I should check if my recipe is exactly the same as in the cookbook, I'm pretty sure it is! oh no REALLY? :( They always work for me and I’ve done it maybe 4 times now.

Unfortunatey it is packed away for moving and so I had to use the web... (isn't it grand) Your recipe keeps making my cupcakes sink... They dont come out fluffy and full but like a volcano. I have now made three batches and will be waiting for my book to be unpacked! Hi,

My cooking abilities are lacking though I am perfecting my cupcake skills at the moment. My biggest problem with most recipes is the amount of butter though this one doesn't have as much as others so I may be making these later on today - wish me luck! =) These look fantastic.
