Ingredients  

  • 1 Cup Plain Flour
  • 1¼ tsp Baking Powder (not baking soda)
  • ⅛ tsp Salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • ¾ Cup Caster Sugar (I use golden caster)
  • ¼ Cup Butter (melted)
  • ½ Cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1½ tsp Ginger
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • 1½ tsp Vegetable Oil

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan) for 20 minutes before starting the batter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar and salt and set aside.
  • Place butter and milk in a heatproof jug and microwave for 2 minutes on high until melted.
  • In a separate bowl, beat your eggs and oil until fluffy and light in colour.
  • When the egg is whipped, beat in the milk and oil in slowly.
  • Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and beat until fully incorporated. Scrape down sides, your batter should now be smooth and pourable.
  • Pour the batter into your muffin cases, filling 2/3 of the way up.
  • Bake 22 minutes or until golden and toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven. Cool for a couple of minutes, and then remove and place on a cooling rack. Cool completely before icing with frosting.
