Leesa was telling me the other day about how much she loves her Women’s Weekly Cupcake cookbook. It was only when I was looking through my bookshelf this afternoon that I realised I have the same one so it was time to do some baking!

Cloud Cakes

I chose to make cloud cakes which are strawberry (I used raspberry) and vanilla cupcakes with a meringue type icing. The recipe is so much better than the Magnolia cupcake recipe I used last time. The Magnolia recipe had heaps of butter and sugar in it – a heart attack waiting to happen. These had much less butter and less sugar and were really light and fluffy. You can find the recipe here.

Leesa will probably say I cooked them too long because they are too brown on top but I’m still trying to figure out the temperature on my stupid oven. They tasted great anyway, if I do say so myself :P
