The best I can suggest is that if you are using light brown soft sugar (which should be about 3.5% molasses so I understand - as you can get different molasses content) then try using 1 cup of packed sugar. This would give you ever so slightly less than 225g but probably not in any noticeable way (the difference is probably about 1 tbspn). The soft brown sugar is used to give a slightly fudgey texture to the cake, but it shouldn't overpower the recipe, as it still should taste very chocolatey. Are you using Dutch processed cocoa which is what we generally use in the UK? As I understand that can affect the taste too. The other measurements are 200g self raising (cake) flour = 7.14 oz = 1 and 3/4 cups of flour, 4 medium eggs (in the UK that's 53-63g weighed in the shell) are more like your large eggs (57 to 64g) and the 225g butter would equate to 1 cup or 2 sticks. I hope that helps, as I'm not sure what else to suggest, but hope you do try them again and have a better result! Good luck and please let me know how you get on, or email me via the blog if you have any other questions.

I was wondering if you could convert this recipe into cups? Oh, I was just wondering about the light brown sugar. The last time I made your peanut butter cupcakes I put in the light brown sugar and it became over powering and all I tasted was the light brown sugar? Any advice?Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906894853712991692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600201185207533799.post-32320883445581221052012-04-13T06:35:08.904+00:002012-04-13T06:35:08.904+00:00Definitely a treat - not just for Easter though :)...Definitely a treat - not just for Easter though :)Susie @ Fold in the Flourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431576411095585453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600201185207533799.post-73853317137134270322012-04-12T09:38:19.781+00:002012-04-12T09:38:19.781+00:00Wow, these look fab!
