While we are waiting for Spring to make a proper appearance after a couple of false starts, why not try baking another delicious Gullane Glögg cake recipe; the third one from Susanne of Frangipane. Tasty coffee and walnut cupcakes with a beautiful butter icing….
Ingredients
For the cake

- 100g caster sugar

- 50g chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon coffee essence or espresso coffee
For the icing:
- 225g icing sugar
- 74g softened butter
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Gullane Glögg

- Put 10 cupcake paper cases into a 12-hole bun tin.
- Measure all the cake ingredients into a bowl and beat well until combined.
- Divide the mixture between the paper cases evenly and bake for about 20 minutes. The cakes should be springy when baked.
- Remove the cases from the bun tin and put on a wire rack to cool while you make the icing.
