These are my millionaires cupcakes and they are perfect for celebrating. They’ve got a buttery melt in the mouth shortbread base topped with a fudgey chocolate sponge. In the centre you get the gooey, sticky caramel before being topped with a thick chocolate ganache frosting. They truely have everything you know and love about the classic.

Here’s Why You’ll Love These Millionaires Cupcakes:
Buttery biscuit base, soft chocolate sponge and gooey centre.... they have everything you know and love about the classic in a perfectly portioned cupcake
Simple ingredients and very little equipment needed - you literally only need a bowl and whisk to make the sponge!
Easy enough for all beginner cake makers
Made without eggs or dairy it can be made vegan and adapted for allergies
Key Ingredients
Flour: The trick to a well risen eggless cupcakes is self raising flour, in combination with levelling agents (trust me!)
Light and Dark Brown Sugar:Â Packed with molasses offering depth of flavours, more robust richness and moisture to your cake.
Dairy free Butter Milk: I recommend using milk with at least 2% fat content. Making a dairy free buttermilk is super easy - just combine milk and vinegar!
Yoghurt - this acts as our egg replacer, helping to bind the ingredients together and create that ulta moist texture.
The first step is to make your buttermilk - and honestly it couldn't be easier! All we do is add vinegar or lemon juice to milk, letting it curdle and thicken to a consistency similar to dairy buttermilk. Soy milk is the best option to use for a creamy buttermilk as it curdles the best, but almond also works (it will just be a lot thinner!)
