Today my 4 year old and I cooked using this simple cupcake recipe. I love this recipe, they turn out perfect every time. We mixed these by hand, her preferred method to bake and they were all done in about 5 minutes.
Cooking together is such a special time where we give each other our full attention. My precious girl was having a taste test afterwards and said to me “mum I love you more than cupcakes’. I think that is about the highest compliment a 4 year old can give. Have a go of this simple cupcake recipe a go when you are baking with your kids.
