I make a half recipe for this cake into 8 small cupcakes today. I used plain flour with baking powder and salt instead of self-rising flour, but other than that, followed the recipe. I discovered after making these cupcakes that I am not very fond of the flavor of custard powder, which comes through quite strongly. I am sure there are other people who will find this flavor pleasant and enjoy the recipe. Thank you.
