Dancing disco primrose.

I have finally got round to using my Secret Santa presents. Disco Primrose edible glitter and blue and white polkadot cupcake cases.

The cupcakes were based on Nigella's recipe with, of course, a few variations!

Beat 200g caster sugar with 175g good marg (butter is richer but heavier) then add 2 eggs. Mix in 200g self-raising flour, 40g cocoa and 150ml sour cream.

Keep an eye on them while they bake and test with a skewer when they have risen. A few minutes makes the difference between moist (sorry to use that word) and just too dry.

Topped when warm with a syrup made from sugar, cocoa and water (nothing fancy) and sprinkled with the glitter.

I have never made anything so garish in my entire life. The pictures don't really do them justice. They disappeared pretty quick at work though!
