more cupcakes...


Mochaccino cupcakes

Mocha mudcake
165g butter, chopped
100g dark choclate, chopped coarsely
1 1/3 C caster sugar
2/3 C water
1/4 C coffee liqueur (I used baileys)
2 Tbsp instant coffee granules
1 C plain flour
2 Tbsp self raising flour
2 Tbsp cocoa
1 egg

Decorations
2/3 C cream, whipped with 1/2 tsp of vanilla essence
2 Tbsp chocolate sauce

1. Preheat oven to 170C and line a 12 hole muffin pan with paper cases
2. Combine butter, chocolate, sugar, water, liqueur and coffee in a saucepan and stir until smooth over a medium heat.
3. In a separte bowl mix flours and cocoa together, then add chocolate mixture. Whisk in egg.
4. Divide mixture among paper cases
5. Bake for 30 - 40 mins, then turn out to cool.
6. Once cool spread with a thick layer of cream. Then get a skewer and put drops of the chocolate sauce on the cream and swirl around till covering the cupcakes. If you cant be bothered doing all this swirling business then you can dust cakes with cocoa :)
