Lastly add in the hot water and mix until smooth and lump free.
Transfer to a large baking tray lined with baking paper and bake on 180 degrees for 40- 50 minutes or until a skewer stick comes out clean or fill muffin cups in a cupcake pan and fill your muffin cups ½ -¾ full depending on how high you want your cupcakes.
