This is a little advancement on my vanilla cupcakes recipe, and is equally as moist and delicious! This will be plenty to make 12 cupcakes or 6 muffins.
Ingredients
- 1x large egg
- 100g baking margarine
- 100g caster sugar
- 75g self raising flour
- 25g cocoa (Green & Blacks fairtrade is my favourite!)
- Preheat your oven to 180ºC or Gas mark 4 or 350ºF
- In your mixing bowl beat together the margarine and sugar with a spatula until smooth.
- Break the egg and add to the mixing bowl, fold into the mixture.
- Add the flour and cocoa, mix together until you have a smooth batter - if you want it more chocolate-y then add more cocoa but take out some flour. No matter the ratio, the total weight of the flour and cocoa together should be 100g.
- If you want to add any thing to the mix (choc chips, sultanas, banana) then this is the time to do it.
- Pour the mixture into a zip lock bag and pipe into cupcake cases (this saves on mess - just throw the bag away, no washing up required!)
- Put in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes. Once you think the cakes are cooked open the oven and press down on one of the cakes, if it springs back then the cakes are done.
