Step 2) Put all the cake ingredients into a bowl and mix with an electric whisk until evenly combined and smooth.

 

Step 3)Line the muffin tin with paper cases and spread the mixture evenly amongst them.

 

Step 4) Bake in the oven for 20-15 minutes then leave to cool.

 

Step 5)To make the icing, put the butter and half of the icing sugar into a bowl and mix this with an electric whisk until evenly combined and smooth.
