today I'm going to be making Queen-cakes
this are simple but sweet little cakes and they are very
easy and quick to make
and so for this recipe I'm going to start by pre-heating my oven to three hundred and fifty degrees fahrenheit
then I'm going to be lining my muffin tray with the cupcake liners
and I'll be setting that aside in
another bowl, i'm going to be adding some all
purpose flour followed by some baking powder and a pinch of salt. give this a good mix and
set aside as well now in a large bowl
I'm going to be adding some magerine
together with some icing sugar and I'll
be creaming this together until it's
light and fluffy remember to scrape down
the edges of the bowl at intervals so
that everything can be evenly combined
right now I'm going to be beating in two eggs
together with the creamed butter but
i'm going to be adding the eggs one at a time so that air in the
creamed butter can be retained
so after the two eggs have been fully incorporated, I'm going to be
adding the zest of one lemon
and some vanilla extract and i'll also be
whipping this together
until it's well combined
so now I'm going to be sifting in the
flour and baking powder mixture
then using a spartula i'm going to fold in the flour into the mixed butter 
until all the mixture is well combined
and finally I'll be aading some black
currant which is a very essntial parts of
this recipe and I'll be folding this in
as well
the resulting batter will be a thick one
but if you want a more easy drop-in
consistency you can thin it out a little
by addng about 2 to 3 tablespoons
of milk but don't go beyond that
because we still want a kind of a thin
consistency for this batter now I'm
going to be spooning in the batter into
a lined muffin tray and I'll be taking
this to my pre-heated oven and I'm going to
bake for about fifteen to twenty minutes
or till a skewer inserted in the middle
of the cake comes out fairly clean and
here they are just from the oven they
came out really nice and fluffy this
cake is so simple and it doesn't call for any icing at all
but if you feel like going a little
extra step
you can just sprinkle some icing sugar over it
allow the cake to cool completely and serve
as a snack or get a cup of tea or coffee
to enjoy it with and that is it again for today thank you
all for spending your time with me and I
will see you all next time enjoy
