AANND - some of you have been requesting a small batch baking recipes for when you don't want to bake a whole dozen.
Well, todays recipe is perfect for 6 cupcakes! You can easily double or triple it to yield 12, 18 or even 24 but the recipe below is for just 6 :)
Here are the recipe/s:
For the cake batter
30g / 1oz Cocoa (unsweetened)
1 X-large (or large) egg
120g / 4oz self raising flour (or you can use plain / all purpose flour and add 1tsp baking powder as a rising agent)
120g / 4oz superfine (caster) sugar
65g / 2.5oz butter (I used salted but you can use unsalted and add a pinch of salt)
2 good tablespoons of Mezzeatta Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Mystery Box ingredient #1)
For the "Lava"
300g / 11oz dark chocolate
220ml / 8oz cream (whipping cream or pouring cream are fine here)
2tsp Mezzetta Red Hot Chili Pepper Everything Paste (Mystery Box ingredient #2!)
2tsp (optional - to taste) chili powder - add a little at a time and test as you go. Flavour will develop over about 10 minutes so allow to set before adding too much!
For the frosting:
300g / 11oz powdered sugar
100g / 3 3/4oz butter (I used salted but you can use unsalted and add a pinch of salt)
1tsp either vanilla or cherry essence (depending on your taste)
1 jar of Mezzetta Maraschino Cherries with Stems (Mystery Box ingredient #3!)
