What adjustments would you make in cooking time to have this as a cake instead of cupcakes? Thanks
I absolutly loved the pepermint cupcakes
!!!!!!! next time i recemend using a little less buter for the icing it tasted a bit buttery. i also recomend using just a smich more of peppermint extract in the icing it tasted a little plain. thankyou so much for sharing your recipe with us !.
Wow, these cakes rise. Make sure you only fill the cases 1/3 full. Mine over-flowed and they were only half full.
Just made these and I must say they are VERY GOOD, however as with most cake recipes on here I feel that the instructions given once the flour is added are a little off. If you over mix the flour then the result is more dense and heavy and should be light, airy and well .......spongey! Its ok to still see flecks of flour in the mix. I recommend mixing on reverse speed 2-3 for about 15-20 seconds and then giving a little mix by hand before spooning into cupcake cases.
I made 12 'muffin case' cupcakes as I currently only have 1 muffin tray! I had to cook for 24 mins before they were done but with the larger size this was to be expected. The crust on the cakes was EXCELLENT, almost like a chewy chocolate cookie on top.
I used a different buttercream icing as the ratio's of butter to icing sugar were different to how I normally make but whatever works for you I guess is fine.
I hope that this review is constructive because I am very impressed with the final result. I ordinarily mark quite strictly and would give this a 4 star but I am aware that some people will discount a recipe if it has not been rated highly and because I belive this has the potential to be INCREDIBLE I've given it 5 stars.
I have only had my Thermie for a few weeks and I'm learning that like everyother recipe you read you sometimes have to change a few things if previous experience/gut feeling tells you to.
These cupcakes are delicious. Thanks for the recipe and my buttercream icing worked out fine, whenever I'm making icing, I really grind the raw sugar even for up to 1 min to make sure it's very fine.
I made these today. I overfilled my cake patties and they overflowed but the tasted amazing!
I had issues with the icing. I used raw sugar without pulverizing it first, I just didn't think about it so my icing had undisolved sugar throughout it. I also found the icing tasted extremely buttery which is usually not too bad, however I didn't think it went too well with the mint.
They were delicious though thank you! I look forward to making them again
Best to mill the sugar into icing sugar first before adding butter for the icing. But yummy! I couldn't resist having one while it was still warm with some icecream

Hi Cath,
Did you just use buttercream for your icing?
