Ingredients
Lovely lemon and Courgette Cupcakes (makes 6 cakes)
- 85g plain flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 57g caster sugar
- 75g grated courgette
- 1 medium egg
- 60ml (4 tbsp) sunflower oil
- 2.5-5ml lemon extract (depending on your taste)
What to do
- With the help of a grown up, pre-heat the oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens) and put your 6 baking cases onto your tray.
- Measure out your flour and baking powder and stir in your sugar.
- Make a well in the centre of the mixture. Break your egg into a bowl and gently mix it with a fork. Grate your courgette too and put into the well with the egg, oil and lemon extract. Give everything a really good mix until you can’t see any flour.
- Using one large spoon and one small spoon, spoon the mixture into your baking cases.
- With help from a grown up, place the tray in the oven for 15-18 minutes. Once they have cooled down a little, eat them and share what you have cooked with your family and friend. Well done! You did it!!
