Small batch baking

6 Inch Cakes

Because 6 inches is enough

Chocolate Guinness Cakes

A 6 inch chocolate Guinness cake with cream cheese buttercream. The full recipe makes more batter than two small tins need, so the rest becomes ten cupcakes.

6inch tin and cupcakes

I used the full recipe. I placed half the batter between two 6 inch sandwich tins and made 10 cupcakes with the rest.

I baked in a traditional fan oven 140 for 20 to 25 mins until the skewer is clean.

These cupcakes are delicious and I would definitely make again.
