Merry Christmas! So it's finally Christmas and therefore this is the last chance I can squeeze in another festive baking post for you all! This last Christmas post is a Gingerbread Latte Cupcake recipe.
The Ingredients for the cupcakes!
160g self raising flour
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
55g butter
100g brown sugar
160g treacle
1 large egg
125ml strong, hot coffee
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

The ingredients for the frosting!
160g icing sugar
90g soft butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp ground ginger
Sieve the flour and spices into a bowl.
Add the butter and sugar and beat until fluffy.
Pour the treacle and egg into the mix and beat together.
In a mug add the bicarbonate of soda and coffee and stir.
Stir this into the mixture.
Divide between the cases and bake at gas mark 4 for 25 minutes until firm to touch.
Sieve the icing into a bowl.
Mix all of the ingredients together.
Pipe onto the cakes and place gingerbread shapes on top to decorate. My gingerbread recipe can be found here.
