Marmite cheese muffins

Marmite cheese muffins

Ingredients

• 1 extra-large egg
• 150g ( cup) sugar
• 60ml ( cup) oil
• 180g (1 cups) cake flour
• Pinch of salt
• 10ml (2 tsp) baking powder
• 250ml (1 cup) milk
• 100g butter, softened
• 20ml (4 tsp) Marmite
• 250ml (1 cup) grated mature cheddar

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C. Beat the egg and sugar together in a bowl, then add the oil and beat until light and creamy. Sift in the flour, salt and baking powder, add the milk and mix until well combined. Grease a muffin pan and spoon in batter to a level of about of the muffin cups, and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven, mix the butter with the Marmite and smear this mixture over the muffins. Sprinkle with the cheese and return to the oven until cheese is melted.

You can also make one cake in a greased baking dish. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until springy to the touch. Follow the same procedure with the topping and cut the cake into squares once done.
