Janice Yvonne’s Cupcake Break 2

Janice Crossman and Yvonne Plaskett hosted their second Cupcake Break for us at Portsoy Church Hall.  “Once again we had a fantastic afternoon, hard work but well worth it! Everyone was so generous and helpful.” 

They raised £1450 last year and beat that this year by raising £1470.

Thank you so much Yvonne and Janice for your incredible efforts!

Here is one of their recipes, Cheesecake Victoria Sponge;

Ingredients

4oz caster sugar

40z marg

2 eggs

4oz self-raising flour

To decorate

1 tub cream cheese 

4 tbsp icing sugar 

crushed ginger biscuits (can use mascarpone and amaretti biscuits)

Method

Sieve the flour into a large bowl and add all the other ingredients. Beat ingredients together until you get a smooth, creamy consistency. Divide the mixture between the two tins and bake at 170 degrees for 30-40 minutes (when ready the cake should be springy to the touch).  Turn out onto a wire rack immediately after cooking to cool.

Mix the cream cheese, icing sugar and biscuits and smooth over the top of the cake. You can also use this as a filling or add jam if you prefer.
