Triple chocolate cupcake kit
THE combination of tight budgets and the festive season is bringing out the Kirstie Allsopp in all of us. It’s time to get baking for Christmas.
INGREDIENTS
Makes 12 cupcakes
100g caster sugar
100g self-raising flour
2tbsp cocoa powder
To complete the kit:
Large glass jar with a clip or screw lid
200g white chocolate drops
100g bar milk chocolate or drops
Cellophane, ribbon, gift bag or box and large label
New spatula or wooden spoon
Sprinkles, or other decorations
12 cupcake cases
METHOD
Tip the caster sugar into the jar, followed by the flour, then finally the cocoa, so the ingredients sit in layers. Seal the jar.
Wrap the chocolate drops in cellophane. Tie the spatula or spoon onto the jar with ribbon and pack in a gift bag or box with the chocolate, sprinkles and cupcake cases.
Hand-write a label with the following instructions and attach it to the gift: ’Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/Gas mark 4.
Put 100g very soft butter in a bowl with two eggs, add the contents of the jar and beat well.
Add a drop of milk to the mix if it’s too stiff.
Stir in the white chocolate drops.
Divide between the cake cases. Bake for 15 minutes. Leave to cool.
Melt the milk chocolate, spoon a little over each cake and then decorate with sprinkles.
