Bake Gas 4 for around 20 minutes until firm but spongy.




Once cool, top with glace icing..

5oz icing sugar

Mix well, add more icing sugar if needed to get a thick dropping consistency.

Drop a spoonful onto each cake, swirl the spoon around to get a circle of icing. Top with a raspberry.

  4. Love the cupcakes. Love the recipe. Love the fact that we are from two very different "English's." What's a GAS 4?.

    In my world, I have instructions like Bake at X (say 350) degrees F for X (say 20) minutes. I can usually figure out the "language barrier," but this one has me stumped.
