It's cupcake time!

It's time for some cupcakes I feel. Only a small batch though, as I've only got one egg in at the moment.

Chocolate Cupcakes
Ingredients
  • 55g Butter
  • 50g Caster sugar
  • 50g Muscavado sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1tsp Vanilla extract
  • 50g Dark chocolate
  • 55g Plain flour
  • 1/2tsp Baking powder
  • Splash of milk
Method
  1. Cream the butter and sugars together until fluffy.
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  3. Melt the chocolate and fold into the mixture.
  4. Sift the flour and baking powder and gradually fold in to the mixture.
  5. Let down with milk to dropping consistency.
  6. Pour into cupcake moulds and bake at 180C for 20-25 minutes.
Here are the cupcakes ready for the oven. I think I should have added a little bit more milk, as the batter's a little thick.And here's the finished article. It's collapsed because remembering the recent volcano cake debacle, I got a bit scared partway through baking them and poked them all with a skewer to deflate them a bit. I hadn't expected them to collapse this much. Oops. Still looks pretty good though!
