Notes
This recipe makes enough for 24 cupcakes, 12 doughnuts or a large 13x9 inch traybake.
If you want a stiffer glaze than you can swirl around with a teaspoon (like on cupcakes) then you’ll probably only need the 120g milk. If you want a drippier glaze like on a celebration cake then you’ll want to up the amount to the full 140g.
Dairy-Free / Vegan. If you use a plant-based milk rather than whole milk then this recipe will be instantly dairy-free or vegan with no compromise on flavour or texture.
