Steps:

  • First prepare your muffin tin.
  • If you have paper cases for muffins, place in the tin. Otherwise, grease the muffin tin well.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 200C/Gas Mark 6.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together into a large mixing bowl.
  • Measure the soya milk and sunflower oil in a measuring jug. Whisk together with a fork and stir in the vanilla essence.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ones and combine well but don't overbeat the mixture if you want super light cakes. I generally use a fork to incorporate everything and press out any lumps!
  • Carefully fold in the blackcurrants.
  • Using a spoon, divide the mixture into the 12 muffin cases or tin. Mix the sugar and mixed spice in a small bowl or empty margarine container box. Using a teaspoon or the corner of the container as a pourer, sprinkle over the top of the muffins.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until well-risen, springy and golden.If using paper cases, transfer the muffins immediately to a wire rack to cool. If not, leave in the tin for about 5 minutes before turning out.
