This post is a few weeks old as I made these for a bake sale we had on Valentine’s Day at work. This recipe was in a recipe book I own but I decide to do my own recipe, but I liked the idea of Jammie dodgers on top of the cupcakes.
So many people at work kept saying to me that these cupcakes were a two for one deal which I had not really thought about these cupcakes like that, but they were so right, and I love that you get a cake and a biscuit all in one.
I really wanted to have one of these cakes, but I never got one, but a few people said to me about how they would like to me do them again as they wanted more than one. I will probably use the smaller jammy dodgers for the top when I do them again or even make my own Jammie Dodgers.
There is a nice little secret centre in these cupcakes, you bite in and get a nice sweet taste of strawberry jam.
