Chocolate Yogurt Cupcakes
- 1/2 cups Melted Butter
- 3 whole Eggs
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup White Sugar
- 2 cups Natural Yoghurt
- 2 cups Plain / All Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 cups Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cups Butter
- 7 ounces, weight Dark Chocolate (good Quality)
- Preheat oven to 160C (325F).
- In a mixer beat the melted butter, eggs and the sugars until creamy. Add the yoghurt and mix well. Add the flour, baking soda and cocoa and mix gently until all combined.
- In regular size muffin cases, place muffin papers in all of the holes. Add 1/4 cup of mixture to each case. (This way it should rise to just under the level of the brim of the paper.)
- Bake at 160C for 20 minutes.
- Remove and cool on a wire rack.
- Frosting:
- Heat the heavy cream and 1/2 cup butter in the microwave until it just comes to the boil. Remove and add the broken up chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes then stir until smooth.
- Let it sit for at least an hour or until it becomes 'spreadable'. I sometimes have to put it in the fridge in summer months in order to help it along.
- Spread on cool cupcakes. Can also be piped.
- NOTES:
- *I have only used natural yoghurt which is plain, unflavored yoghurt.
