Orange Currants Marmalade Cupcakes

I was stranded at home earlier as it was raining heavily. Feeling bored, I whipped up some butter, eggs, marmalade, milk, flour, custard powder and added some currants. End result are these mini cupcakes. Yummy, soft and moist and not so sweet. Perfect accompaniment with cold milk.

My Kenwood Experience!

Tonite i've had my very first experience with my Kenwood Mixer using the Flexibeater. I was worried that it might not be able to do the job. I was told that the flexibeater is meant for creaming mixes only. However, it did just that it doesn't scrape the sides and the bottom of the bowl that well enough for me.

Here are some pictures of the banana cupcakes. The whole process was so fast that i didn't had a chance to take pictures of the kenwood and flexibeater in action.
