Ingredients
175g Baking Spread
175g Light Brown Sugar
3 Large Eggs
140g Self Raising Flour
35g Cocoa Powder
3tbsp Milk
200g Milk Chocolate
12 Heart Sprinkles
- What You Need
Hand Whisk or Electric Whisk, Muffin/Cupcake Tin, Muffin Cases.
Directions
- Add 175g Baking Spread and 175g Light Brown Sugar to a bowl and beat these together. For this recipe I’ve used an electric whisk but you can do it by hand, or with a stand mixer.
- Add your Self Raising Flour, Cocoa, Milk and the 3 Eggs into the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
*Note – Ensure not to overmix the batter. - Line a muffin tin with your favourite cupcake/muffin cases. For this recipe we are using a 12 hole muffin tin but you can use a smaller/larger tin.
- Portion your batter into your cupcake/muffin cases evenly. I use an ice cream scoop but you can use a spoon. They should weigh roughly 40g each. You will want to fill your cases about half way, to ensure you leave enough room for the melted chocolate.
- Preheat your gas oven at gas mark 4 or to 180C on an electric oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Once baked melt your chocolate by breaking into small chunks and adding to a microwavable bowl and melt in short bursts (20 seconds) until fully melted.
- Allow your baked cupcakes to to cool and then top with melted chocolate. Adding the heart sprinke/decoration.
- Allow to chill in the fridge until the chocolate is solid.
- Tuck in and enjoy!
