I wanted to make some cupcakes for a lady I know who has
just found out she is a having a baby girl so decided that white chocolate mud
cakes would be perfect. I’ve made these before and actually took them to Poland the
first time I met my boyfriend’s parents! I used a simple vanilla buttercream,
some sparkles and little pink feet to decorate them. The recipe is from a book
I got from my best friend one Christmas called The Complete Book of Cupcakes,
Cheesecakes and Cookies by The Australian Women’s Weekly. Unfortunately I can’t
find it on the internet anywhere but there are lots of similar ones. I love the
cupcake recipes as they are quite unusual.
For 12 standard sized muffins:
125 g butter, softened
100 g white chocolate
150 g brown sugar
90 g golden syrup
160 ml milk
150 g plain flour, sieved
50 g self raising flour, sieved
1 egg
Heat oven to 170oC (325oC or gas 3)
Melt the butter, chocolate, sugar, golden syrup and milk in
a saucepan over a low heat. Once all combined pour the mixture into a bowl to
cool for about 15 minutes. Whisk in first the two flours and then the egg.
Divide the mixture between 12 muffin cases. It is quite a sloppy mix so I first
poured it into a jug and then poured it into the cases. Bake for about 30
minutes or until a cocktail stick comes out cleanly. I decorated these cakes
with vanilla buttercream (my normal recipe – one from here), edible pink
glitter and pink feet! Which I did buy from my local cake decorating shop –
cheating? Maybe! And here are the results!
