Would you please share your best muffin or cupcake recipes?

I'm looking for ideas for the Macmillan World's Biggest Coffee Morning. DP's work are taking part, so I thought cupcakes or muffins would be suitable and easy to transport. TIA.

Wee hopeful bump for the bakers out there.

What about Sticky Toffee Pudding cupcakes? Topped with dulce du leche buttercream and either sprinkle of sea salt or chopped up Crunchie bar (depending how quickly you want to become diabetic😀)

I find that Red Velvet always go down well - I have the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook and use that recipe - you can find it here www.redonline.co.uk/food/recipes/a500091/hummingbird-bakery-s-red-velvet-cupcakes/
I pipe the icing rather than spreading it on to make them look more special and put a Minstrel on top each one - it seems to help justify charging a bit more!!
