Tastes great, but 20 mins is not nearly long enough. Bottom was still soggy and the center sank a bit. Followed recipe to the T. Great other wise.

Very average recipe. It made 24 cupcakes and still had batter left. Quite flavourless too.

A solid recipe - had to make it in batches but leaving mix to sit a while didn't affect its ability to rise. Added a big tsp of ginger as well - loved the good amount of spices in the recipe, as well as fruits and nuts. Could even pop fresh ginger in it, I reckon. Icing quantity was also perfect. Made about 20 regular sized muffins and about 12 mini muffins.

Method
Cupcakes
Preheat oven to 190°C conventional (170°C fan forced). Beat eggs and Chelsea Raw Sugar together. Add oil and stir through then add in all other ingredients and mix well.
Grease cupcake tin (or line with cupcake cases) and pour mixture in to about ¾ full. Bake at for about 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Transfer to wire rack and allow to cool.
Cream Cheese Frosting
Beat butter and cream cheese together with an electric mixer. Add Chelsea Icing Sugar, vanilla and sufficient milk to make a light fluffy frosting consistency. Using a piping bag, pipe a generous amount onto the cooled cupcake and decorate as desired.
Additional tips
For a fresh twist, replace the milk in the icing with lemon or orange juice and add 1/2 a teaspoon of rind.
