How to make a Giant Cupcake with Wright’s mixes

METHOD

To make a giant cupcake in a silicone mould use 750g of mix (a pack & a half of your favourite Wright’s cake mix).

Pre-heat your oven to 160°C (320°F, Gas Mark 3) and use the middle shelf.

Make up your packet mix following the instructions on the back of the pack and even though it tells you not to grease the mould, make sure you do as it is far easier to get the finished cake out.

Pour the mixture into both halves, about halfway in each should do, around 2/3 of batter in bottom case and the rest in the top.

Bake on the middle shelf for about an hour. Please do not try checking until at least the hour has passed you don’t want a collapsed cupcake!

After the hour do a skewer test to make sure it comes out dry and if your cake is ready, leave to cool for at least 10 minutes then use a knife or plastic spatula and very slowly ease it around the cake. This just helps getting it out in one go.

Leave to cool for a good hour or even a couple and then enjoy decorating it!

You can cut the base in half and use jam or chocolate sauce and then fix the top and bottom together with a layer of butter cream.
