Ghostface Vanillas


You will need:
225g Butter
225g Caster sugar
3 eggs
4 Tablespoons milk
Vanilla essence
50g Poppy seeds

For the Icing:
150g Cream cheese
50g Butter
200g Icing sugar
Vanilla Essence

Method: 

These are super easy to make, I actually wanted to make the loaf version of this bake but then remembered cakes are easier to share and I am seeing my friends Lizzie and Martyn tomorrow who definitely expect a cake or two. So you need to beat the butter and sugar together, add the milk and the eggs and cream the mixture. Throw in the poppy seeds and sift the flour in, once the mixture is consistent you can then add a few splashes of vanilla essence and you are ready to spoon into the muffin cases. Pop them in the oven on 160C until they have risen just above the muffin case, this usually takes around 20 minutes but be sure they are cooked in the middle by popping a skewer through the cakes making sure no mixture comes off.

You should already have some club bangers on now, maybe go for Supreme Clientele or Wallabee Champ to whip up your icing though to be honest I do get a little carried away with the both of those albums so play it safe if need be playas.

I always seem to have difficulty with cream cheese frosting so sometimes end up adding up to 50g more of one thing and sort of just roll with the ingredients, I definitely added in more Icing sugar than I measured out as the icing was thin and sloppy which is not what I'm about. Mix the butter and cream cheese together and then sieve in the icing sugar and again splash the vanilla essence into the mix. 

You should make 12 muffins or maybe even more but I always like to make sure they are pretty full, sprinkle a few poppy seeds on top for effect and wham bam the Ghostface Vanillas are back like that. 

I already knew 100% what track I would post for these, this is my ultimate favourite Ghostface track and features heavily on my running playlists...''How many cakes we bake y'all...ONE''
