Cappuccino Cupcakes
- 3/4 cup self-rising cake flour
- 1/2 cup soft unsalted butter
- 7 tablespoons sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 heaped tablespoon instant espresso
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 5 1/2 ounces white chocolate
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 2/3 cups confectioners sugar, sifted
- Scant teaspoon cocoa powder
- 12-cup mufin pan lined with paper baking cups
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Put all the cupcake ingredients except for the milk into the food processor and blitz to combine.
- Pulse again, adding milk down the funnel to form a batter with a soft, dropping consistency.
- Spoon into the baking cups in their pan and put in the oven to cook for about 20 minutes.
- When ready, remove from the oven and leave in the pan to cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
- When theyre completely cold, get on with the icing.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave or in a double boiler, and after its cooled a little, stir in the sour cream.
- Gradually beat in the sifted confectioners sugar.
- And if the consistency isnt right for icing, add either hot water to thin or more sifted sugar to thicken.
- Spread roughly and generously over the top of each cupcake, and then dust sparingly with cocoa, by pressing a little through a tea strainer, so that they look like little cups of chocolate-dusted cappuccino.
