It was another week and another moment for contemplation and procrastination. I'm a complete chocolate lover (of any size, shape, colour or form!) with my counterpart being an avid fan of the white chocolate variety. Taking this on board we opted for a chocolate treat - chocolate cupcakes with indulgent white chocolate frosting.
Chocolate Cupcake Ingredients
120g Butter
120g Caster Sugar
95g Self-Raising Flour
25g Cocoa Powder
2 Large Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
50g Crushed Milk Chocolate
Icing Ingredients
70g Butter
70g Icing Sugar
50g White Chocolate
50g White Chocolate (for decoration)
1. Cream butter and sugar together.
2. Mix in one egg at a time, adding half of the flour with each.
3. Add cocoa, vanilla and chocolate, before binding to create final mixture.
4. Place into 12 cupcake cases and bake at 180C for 25 - 30 minutes.
1. Cream together butter and icing sugar.
2. Melt the white chocolate in a glass bowl over a hot pan and after leaving to cool briefly, add gradually to the butter and sugar mixture.
3. If necessary allow mixture to stiffen in the fridge for 30 minutes.
4. For decoration, use remaining white chocolate to create chocolate curls with a knife or peeler.
