Choc & Vanilla Cupcakes
Makes: 25 small cakes
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook time: 8 minutes
Icing: depends how fancy you are!
Ingredients:
100g butter , at room temperature
100g caster sugar
2 eggs
100g self-raising flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
½ cap of vanilla essence
200g dark chocolate , melted
decoration
1. Mix the soft butter and sugar together until well combined
2. Add the eggs, and flour and mix well to make the foundation. This is the point where you can divide the mixture and make half chocolate or half vanilla flavored. If you choose to make them all chocolate or all vanilla you should double the amount listed in the ingredients above as it is designed to cater for splitting the batch and making chocolate and vanilla.
3. Spoon into cupcake papers and bake for 8 minutes.
4. Once cool, melt the chocolate and ice & decorate
I had to bake mine in two batches, but the cooking time is so fast it doesn’t matter. Also – you can see from my picture how not using a muffin trey to support the cupcake mold turned out – flat and fat cupcakes rather than tall and chubby… I’ll be getting a trey for next time.

Love the juxtaposition of the shiny metallic meteorites as they come in to wipe out the dinosaurs. Or will elevenses get them first…
