I have a real treat for you this morning, a guest post from my lovely friend Galina over at Chez Maximka blog.
She writes about family life, local life and days out, toy and film reviews, and much more, but most of all she writes about food, and her recipes regularly have me and her many readers salivating over their keyboards!
These advocaat cupcakes are perfect for Christmas time!

Galina's cake recipes are just the best, and this one for Lara-inspired cupcakes is of course my favourite!

But today Galya is offering you a special Christmas-y recipe, for Advocaat Cupcakes no less!
Advocaat use to be my nan's favourite Crimbo tipple, so this recipe really appeals to me. Without further ado, here is Galina's recipe:
I always associate Advocaat with Christmas.

125ml Advocaat
150g self-raising flour

+ more vanilla syrup to pour on top

125ml Advocaat
150g self-raising flour
1tsp baking powder

+ more vanilla syrup to pour on top

7. You can eat them hot or cold. Best served with more vanilla syrup poured on top!
* Vanilla syrup will add a lush vanilla flavour to your baking.
** Vanilla flavoured pumpkin seeds from M&S are optional. You can add just plain pumpkin seeds, or pine nuts if you prefer.
Advocaat can be quite pricey, so I buy Tesco's own 'Advocaat' at £8 per bottle: a bargain in comparison to the standard prices for it!
