Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 85 gm self raising flour
- 55 gm butter
- 55 gm castor sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 55 gm plain chocolate
- white chocolate 55 gm (for decoration)
- *Instead of using a self raising flour, I used 85 gm plain flour and 1tsp baking powder*
- *If you don't get a large egg- 2 small ones can be used*
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a cupcake tray with paper cases.
- In a large bowl, combine 85 gm self-raising flour, 55 gm butter, 55 gm caster sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 tbsp cocoa powder. Beat together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Spoon half of the mixture into the prepared cupcake cases, filling each about halfway.
- With a small spoon, make an indentation in the middle of each cupcake and place a piece of plain chocolate inside.
- Cover the chocolate with the remaining batter, filling each case almost to the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, melt 55 gm of white chocolate and drizzle over the top of each cupcake for decoration.
Notes
- For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
- Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute dark chocolate for the plain chocolate if preferred.
