Oven Happy!

Recently I have been baking a lot. So much so my mothers joked that I’m getting her fat!
Taking advantage of all the fruits that are coming up, this springtime, and my oven has been busy! I made beautiful raspberry cupcakes from scratch!











Springtime muffins

1tbsp baking powder
½ cup caster sugar
1 egg
½ cup powder milk (liquid)
2 oz melted butter
4tbsp oil
1 cup raspberries

1. Pre-heat oven to 400F
2. Sift flour and powder into bowl, add sugar.
3. Mix egg, milk, butter, and oil into a bowl and mix quickly until combined.
4. Add the raspberries and fold into mixture with spoon.
5. Spoon into prepared muffin cases and fill 2/3.
6. Six 2-25 minutes until center is firm. Let cool serve warm.

Then I made a box cake (box cake?)
Yet they are good for those days when things get hectic, like school in the morning, internship meeting at 2:30 and catering event at 4:00!
Get home at 8:30 super tired, and oddly enough wanting to bake.
So I took out my handy dandy box cake add a few touches and voila!
No one in my family knew it was from a box!
Judge for yourself!!
