Notes
Mo’s tip: SUKRIN GOLD is a brown sugar substitute with a lovely flavour and adds to
the texture of cakes, but you can substitute with your preferred sweetener.
To make this a Halloween party treat, I used foil lined cake cases with a
cobweb design, and some little plastic spiders, care will be needed when
removing the spiders, before eating of course!! – both came from Amazon.
This makes 8 cupcakes giving: 20.56g fat / 5.93g protein / 2.26g CHO
