Chocolate Cupcake Recipe

 Apologies to anyone that's on a diet/healthy eating while reading this! I was doing so well eating well through the week, then it gets to the weekend and bam I struggle big time! 

Recipe

150g Butter

150 g Caster Sugar

3 Eggs

1tsp Vanilla

175g Self Raising Flour

25g Cocoa powder

To be fair, it is a pretty basic recipe to follow. So, cream the butter and the sugar together. Then add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Then add the flour and cocoa powder and mix together. And bob your uncle. It’s that simple. Then obviously fill your cupcakes cases- it should fill 12 cases. Then bake at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes (mine took 20 minutes).

Icing

So, this is the Hummingbird Chocolate icing- literally has been my all-time favourite icing ever! You can buy their recipe book here, which has lots of other amazing flavours of icing! I have always been an icing girl, weather its fondant or butter cream. So, topping these cupcakes with this icing made it a chocolate heaven!

Recipe

300g Icing Sugar

100g Butter

40g Cocoa Powder

40 ml Whole Milk ( I used semi skimmed and it still worked fine)

Beat the icing sugar, butter and cocoa Powder together until they all come together ( this takes a little bit of time but eventually is does come together). Slowly add the milk to the mixture. Once all the ingredients are together, turn the mixer on high until the frosting is light and fluffy.

And there you go, lovely chocolate cupcakes with the most amazing icing!

Do you like baking? What is yours favourite recipe?

Lots of love,
