- In a fairly large bowl, beat the sugar & the warmed margarine together. Unlike a regular sponge, you don’t need to do this for more than a couple of minutes – creaming to get it fluffy is not required here!

- Mix in the flour, being sure to get it well mixed & break up any lumps that may be lurking.
- Finally, mix in the water little by little.
- Pour the batter into liners. Fill only halfway & place tray in the center of the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes.
- As soon as 30 minutes have passed, turn the oven off and leave you cupcakes for another 10-15 minutes then check it with toothpick if its done take it out from oven.
- Cool at wire rack for 10 minutes. Once cooled, give it a generous dusting of confectioners sugar. Serve.
