what would be a good icing, I know you can eat it without icing but I need one with icing. Is the madiera cake recipe in the Edmonds cook book a good one! and can it be made into cup cakes!

A butter icing with added lemon juice would suit a Madeira Cake.Sorry, I don't have the answer to your cupcake question.

This is a recipe I have posted here before and have lots of good feedback.Makes great cup cakes too. Lemon Madeira Cake. As a cake decorator this is the recipe I always use. It comes out lovely and moist and keeps that way for days. Makes 2 medium cakes or 1 large cake. Gave this recipe on here a few weeks ago and baker was delighted how well it turned out. 1 cup milk 125gm butter. Bring these to the boil In a mixer, beat 4 eggs and gradually adds 2 cups sugar, 1 pkt lemon jelly crystals and 1 tsp vanilla essence. Beat until thick, then add 2 and a 1/4 cups of plain flour, 1/4 tsp salt and 2 tsp baking powder. Mix then quickly stir in the boiled milk and butter. Turn the mixture into two 7 or 8 inch lined tins and bake 180c for 20 minutes. If using a novelty shaped pan bake the whole mixture for 40 minutes at 180c or until skewer comes out clean.

+1 It's really good, and you can change it by using different flavoured jelly crystals.

Well I didn't get around to baking Kiwitrish's cake until tonight.Cooked beautifully and tastes wonderful.I put the mixture into two loaf tins one a bit larger than the other and so I put more mixture into that.It rose up really high and I took it carefully out of the oven but it has sunk quite a bit which is a bit disappointing.I think next time I'll bake it in a ring tin and put all the mixture in that.I remember doing that before and from memory it worked well.Having said all that - the cake is delish.As always with this recipe.Going to put lemon icing on it later.

I made kiwitrish's madeira cake yesterday. I used a round cake tin and some large muffin tins. I think I put too much in the mix in the round tin, it took a long time to cook through, thought it was going to need to be a dessert cake with yoghurt or cream, but it was fine in the end. Nice and yummy. (must invest in better size cake tins).
