Descendents Cupcakes


Makes 18 (muffin size paper cases)

Ingredients
8oz caster sugar
8oz margarine
6oz self-raising flour
2oz cocoa powder
4 eggs
Splash of milk
200g white chocolate
100g dark chocolate

Apologies for mixing metric and imperial measurements here, it's my mum's old school cake recipe.

Optional extras
A big cup of coffee
'Everything Sucks' on repeat

Method

Pre-heat oven on Gas Mark 6/190C

Mix caster sugar and margarine together.

Sieve the flour and cocoa powder into the mix and add all of the eggs. It's easier to mix if you add a bit of each a time.

Once everything's added get a big dollop of mixture on your spoon and let it drop into the bowl. If it drops off in three seconds it's perfect. If it's too thick add a splash of milk, if it's too sloppy add a bit of flour.

Spoon mixture into paper cases.

Bake for 15 - 20 mins.

Once the cakes have cooled, melt your white chocolate and spoon onto your cupcakes.

When that's dried it's time to get creative! Melt your dark chocolate, add it to your piping bag and get drawing...


Once the chocolate's dried it's time for a taste test, ideally while you chug-a-lug-o your coffee mug. Now who wouldn't want one of these? Get yours and some Descendents coffee beans here.
