The below lemon cupcake recipe is made with my 7″ round lemon madeira.
Every day, in my lunch box, there would be a Wagon Wheel. I loved them when I was a kid and I always saved it to the end of my lunch for something extra special to look forward to. I remember how big they seemed, how marshmallow-y and they made me so very happy!
I also remember for a long time they kind of, disappeared. So imagine my delight when they reappeared on our shelves a few years ago. New branding but same lovely treat… or was it?
There raged a debate which continues strong today about the size of the Wagon Wheel. ‘Who has shrunk our Wagon Wheels?’ one article reads ‘it’s definitely smaller’ one comment confirms. I wanted to get to the bottom of this.
According to the Wagon Wheel wikipedia page it states;
There have been many debates amongst fans of the biscuit about its size. Wagon Wheels have supposedly shrunk in size over time, but Burton’s Foods Ltd has denied this. It has been suggested that the supposed shrinkage is due to an adult’s childhood memory of eating a Wagon Wheel held in a much smaller hand; this argument is perhaps moot, as it does not explain why the modern Wagon Wheel appears to be fatter than the original.
And check out my new favourite song, an instant classic – Burton’s Wagon Wheels (Are Smaller Than They Used To Be)
As you can see, it’s a very passionate topic. And one I’ve decided to take into my own hands and create a Wagon Wheel as big as I remember them being – GIANT.
For this biscuit you will need –
For the filling you will need –
For the coating you will need –
Method;
Follow the recipe video below to make your own Giant Wagon Wheel! Then you too can enjoy the nostalgia of eating a proper size chocolate biscuit! Haha!!

This week, inspired by The Great British Bake Off, I’ve partnered with AEG to create the quintessential Great British Yorkshire Pudding!
Earlier this year, I received an AEG SteamBake oven, (you can read my review here) and I absolutely love it! The steam cooking keeps the dough moist on the surface to create a golden colour and tasty crust on your bakes, while the centre stays soft and fluffy. Meaning Yorkshire puddings will always be deliciously golden brown!
I created this recipe which makes 10 monster Yorkshires, baked wonderfully in the SteamBake oven, perfect for a Sunday roast! Check out the video below for how they are made.
As well as an excellent oven for baking, the SteamBake oven is also a great all-rounder multifunction oven (with up to 13 functions) that grills, roasts and bakes. Mine also features pyrolytic cleaning, a food probe and soft close door! It was awarded The Good Housekeeping Institute seal of approval after rigorous testing and SteamBake is now available on all AEG single built in ovens at no extra cost.
I’ve used the SteamBake function on my oven for so many different things including Sun-Dried Tomato & Parmesan Loaf, Lemon & White Chocolate Muffins and a Baked Raspberry Cheesecake and the SteamBake function provided excellent results!
There are a 3 simple steps to SteamBake:
Step 1: Pour 100ml of water in the cavity at the bottom
Step 2: Select the SteamBake programme and press the SteamBake button
Step 3: Let the oven preheat and create steam for 5 minutes. Then add your fresh dough after the steam has dissipated.
The cool thing is, it’s not a steam oven as such but a normal built-in multifunction oven, with the added bonus of a SteamBake button.
