Preparazione

1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C (gas mark 6)
Place your cupcake cases into an ovenproof muffin tin (the cupcakes come out quite big)
Add all the cake mixture (except the milk) into a food processor and mix until smooth.
Add the milk and mix again (nb the mixture should just be able to drop off the spoon and not be too runny)
place the mixture evenly into the cupcake cases and bake for 15-20 minutes.

2. To make the icing, cream together the butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract and cream cheese with a spatular. Once the icing sugar has been absorbed you can use an electric whisk to form a creamy consistency.

3. Ice the cupcakes generously once they're cooled and decorate with edible glitter.
