Today I made some lovely chocolate cupcakes.I decorated the cupcakes with a luscious chocolate swiss buttercream frosting…
Here is the recipe, enjoy!
Black Beauty Cuppies
1 1/2 cups castor sugar.
1 3/4 cups flour.
1 1/2 tsp baking powder.
1 1/2 tsp bicarb.
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp salt.
2 eggs.
1 cup milk.
1/2 cup oil.
2 tsp vanilla.
1 cup boiling water.
Sift together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, bicarb & salt in a large bowl.
Mix together with spoon until combined. In another bowl, whisk eggs lightly, add milk, oil and vanilla and whisk again until well combined.
Add in flour mixture in small portions and whisk until well combined.
Lastly add boiling water and mix with wooden spoon lightly until smooth.
Consistency should be runny.
Fill cupcake cases until 3/4 way full. Bake for ±20 mins in pre-heated oven at 180 degrees. Cool for 10 mins before removing from pan and another 30 mins before frosting. The trick to the recipe is that everything should be done by hand and mixed lightly. Texture is so light better than that of a box mix...
