Ingredients
For the cupcakes
- 115g margarine, softened
- 115g caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp Dr. Oetker Madagascan vanilla extract
- 150g plain flour
- 2 tsp Dr. Oetker Baking Powder (2 sachets)
- 165g Dr. Oetker Milk Chocolate Chunks
- 2 medium free-range eggs, beaten
For the decoration
- 400g Dr. Oetker Chocolate Buttercream Style Icing
- 40g (approx) Dr. Oetker Milk Chocolate Chunks
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas Mark 5. Line a cupcake tin(s) with 14 Dr. Oetker paper cases. In a mixing bowl, beat the margarine with the sugar until pale and creamy-light in texture.
2
Gradually whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract, then sift the flour and baking powder on top. Add 100g (31⁄2oz) of the chocolate chunks and, using a large metal spoon, carefully fold the ingredients together until well mixed.
3
Spoon into the paper cases and bake on the middle shelf in the oven for 16-18 minutes until risen, lightly golden and just firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4
Once the fairy cakes have cooled, spoon the icing into a large piping bag fitted with a 1cm (1⁄2in) large closed star nozzle, then pipe a swirl to cover the top of each cake. Decorate the cakes with the remaining chocolate chunks to serve.
