Ingredients
Makes: 24 cupcakes
- 225g golden caster sugar
- 225g margarine, at room temperature
- 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 medium eggs, at room temperature

- Preheat the oven to 180 C / 160 C fan / Gas 4. Line two 12-hole muffin tins with paper cases.
- Beat sugar and margarine together in a large bowl until really light and creamy. Beat in vanilla extract followed by the eggs, one at a time.
- Sift the flour and nutmeg together then add to the butter mixture. Gently mix in the Baileys® and the chocolate chips until smooth - be careful not to over mix! Divide mixture equally between paper cases, filling only to half way to ensure a good rise; tap tin gently on counter top to get rid of any air bubbles.
- Bake one tray at a time in the preheated oven on the middle shelf for 18 to 20 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre of a cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in tin for about 10 minutes. Cook the second tray. When cooled, remove gently and cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy!
