Indugant chocolate muffins with a vanilla bean butter cream topped with a homemade rose.
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams self-raising flour
- 140 grams caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 200 grams plain chocolate
- 1 handful of white chocolate chips/chunks
- 50 grams icing sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 2 vanilla pods
- 1 handmade rose
- pre heat the oven to gas mark 4
- Take the unsalted butter and cream together with the caster sugar.
- make sure the butter is at room temperature but if not, put in a microwave for about 5-6 seconds.
- add the eggs one by one into the bowl.
- each time whisk and you should be left with a creamy like mix
- to this add the chocolate chunks as well as the melted plain chocolate.
- fold in the self-raising flour.
- make sure it is sifted and put in by 3 parts.
- line a cupcake tay with muffin cases and take a icecream scooper.
- put a scoop in each case and bake for about 20-25 minutes or just until a skewer comes out clean.
- while the cakes are baking, make the frosting.
- start by creaming the icingsugar and butter together in a bowl.
- make sure the icing sugar is sifted to prevent lumps.
- now take a knife and run it through a vanilla bean pod.
- scrape out the contents and add to the frosting.
- Repeat with another pod.
- take out your cakes and leave on a cooling rack.
- transfer the frosting into a pipeing bag and once the cakes are cool start decorating.
- In my cupcakes i did a star pattern but you can do a swirl or anything you fancy.
- top with a hand made fondant rose.
- i will make a directions recipe to show you how to make them
- another tip useful would be to colour the frosting just for a extra touch.
- Enjoy :)
