JML Giant Cupcake.

Aww I've seen that, it's fab!
No suggestions though, I'm new to baking

 

Mum and i tried it and couldn't get it to come out in one piece....disaster.

 

Hi
I've tried it today for the first time and the cake has turned out great.This is the recipe I've used.
350g unsalted butter
350g caster sugar
6 large eggs, beaten
2 tsp vanilla extract
350g plain flour
5tsp baking powder
4-5 tbsp milk, at room temperature.

Mix together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 mins with an electric mixer, very gradually add the beaten eggs, stir in the vanilla extract.

Sift together the flour & baking powder and add to the cake mixture in two batches. Add the milk and mix until smooth.

takes around 35-40 minutes to cook 180c/Gas 4 (I did mix the flour in with eggs to stop it curdling)

Hope this helps

 

I am goung to try this recipe, mine have all been disasters!!

 

I saw one of those the other day but didn't get it as I didn't think it'd come out the tin!

 

it takes practice.. I had one that was silicone. I wanted it for Mylos christening/joint birthday cakes.. and I must have had 6 attempts before getting it right.

tip: turns out better when cold.!

 

I've been wanting to get one of those JML things, it looks great! Thanks shell for the recipe

 

You could just use a general Victoria Sponge recipe! Very easy and never fails. Not sure how big your tin is but this generally works for large cakes and if theres some left over you can always use it for small cupcakes on the side.
8oz Margarine
8oz Sugar
8oz Self raising flour
4 eggs
(add cocoa or fruit if you want to. No need to substitute because it doesnt make a difference in these cakes)

You can use any amount as long as you use half the amount of eggs as the rest of the ingredients in lb and oz

 

I got the silicon one for Christmas but it just arrived today. I'm hoping to try it out tomorrow - wonder how it will work out! I'll let you know how I get on with mine! Does your's have the filling insert thing that you can either use or not use? xx

 

My giant cupcake moulds arrived today - the recipe book's pants (seems to involve 'packet' cake mix...) but I'm going to try doing a normal cake mix and will report back!

Wish me luck

 

I plan on trying mine out tomorrow so will let you know how I get on.

I think alot of the shape comes from the decorating but we shall see!!!

 

Here it is - my first effort with the giant cupcake moulds! I reckon it'll look pretty hot once it's iced and all! Might decorate one as a toadstool and do a fairy theme for my daughter's next birthday

I totally winged it on the recipe cos I never had enough eggs to do a proper batter it's come out nice tho! I just put some veg oil and milk in instead of the missing eggs LOL!

 

Well i tried mine on Saturday but never got around to icing it because I got a chest infection and have been feeling horrendous ever since! It came out fine - no problem with the shape but next time I think I'll use even more cake mix because the bottom half was just a little bit small. The mix I used filled the top half but only 2/3 filled the bottom half. It was still ok but next time I'll make more. I think I used 12oz of marg, caster sugar and SR flour and 6 eggs (but it might have been 10/10/10 and 5 eggs!) - next time I'll go for 14/14/14 and 7 eggs and if I have too much mixture I'll make some fairy cakes with the excess. I greased the silicon tin really well and I left the cake in till it was cold. xx

 

Right....I have just tried my tin again and this time I used 16oz of marg/sugar/flour and 8 eggs!! It came out fine - I left it in the tin till it was cold then iced it with buttercream. I cooked it at 180 and it took ages to cook - probably about 45 mins or longer.

Here it is!
