      A LIGHT AND FLUFFY, MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE TOPPED WITH OUR DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM AND DECORATED IN A FUN STYLE. A GREAT BASIC RECIPE WITH WHICH YOU CAN EXPERIMENT.

      3 eggs

      220 g/1 cup caster/granulated sugar

      150 ml/⅔ cup sunflower oil

      80 ml/⅓ cup full-fat/whole milk

      150g self-raising flour/1 cup cake flour mixed with 2 teaspoons baking powder, sifted

      45 g/generous ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

      BUTTERCREAM

      150 g/1¼ sticks butter

      40 g/⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

      300 g/2½ cups icing/confectioners’ sugar

      60–75 ml/4–5 tablespoons full-fat/whole milk

      TO DECORATE

      chocolate stars and sprinkles of your choice

      muffin pan lined with 12 muffin cases

      piping/pastry bag fitted with a large star nozzle/tip

      MAKES 12

      Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) Gas 4.

      Place the eggs and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or use an electric whisk and large mixing bowl), and beat the mixture at medium to high speed for 1–2 minutes, until light and fluffy.

      If using a stand mixer, switch to the paddle attachment. Combine the oil and milk, then slowly add to the egg mixture, and mix until just combined. Sift the flour and cocoa powder together into a separate bowl, and add to the batter, a little at a time, beating until incorporated. Scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula, and briefly beat at high speed until the mixture is smooth. Do not over-mix.

      Using an ice cream scoop, divide the mixture between the muffin cases, filling to almost two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, until well risen and a skewer inserted into the cakes comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

      For the buttercream, place the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use an electric whisk and large mixing bowl), and beat the mixture at medium to high speed, until smooth and soft. In another bowl, sift the cocoa powder and icing/confectioners’ sugar together. Turn the mixer to low speed and add the sifted cocoa powder and sugar, a little at a time, to the butter. When it is incorporated, turn the mixer to medium speed and add the milk, a tablespoonful at a time, until the buttercream is smooth. Beat on high speed, until light and fluffy. If the buttercream is too stiff, add a little more milk to soften.

      To decorate, spoon the buttercream into the piping/pastry bag, and pipe a swirl onto the tops of the cupcakes. Alternatively, spread the buttercream onto each cake using a palette knife or metal spatula. Decorate each cupcake with a chocolate star and some sprinkles.

      rocky road cupcake

      THE ROCKY ROAD CUPCAKE HAS IT ALL! SQUIDGY MARSHMALLOWS, SOUR CHERRIES, CRUNCHY BISCUIT PIECES, TOASTED ALMONDS AND SILKY BUTTERCREAM.

      ROCKY ROAD

      50 g/3½ tablespoons butter

      125 g/¾ cup chopped dark/bittersweet chocolate

      1 tablespoon golden/light corn syrup

      75 g/¾ cup crumbled digestive biscuits/graham crackers

      40 g/¾ cup mini marshmallows

      40 g/¼ cup dried sour cherries, chopped

      40 g/⅓ cup toasted flaked/sliced almonds

      18-cm/7-in square cake pan, greased and lined with baking parchment

      CHOCOLATE CAKE

      1 egg

      75 g/6 tablespoons caster/granulated sugar

      50 ml/¼ cup sunflower oil

      2 tablespoons full-fat/whole milk

      1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

      50 g self-raising flour/⅓ cup cake flour mixed with ½ teaspoon baking powder

      30 g/½ cup chopped marshmallows

      40 g/⅓ cup dried sour cherries

      VANILLA CAKE

      90 g/¾ stick butter

      125 g/⅔ cup caster/granulated sugar

      2 eggs

      ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste

      100 g self-raising flour/¾ cup cake flour mixed with 2 teaspoons baking powder

      ½ teaspoon baking powder

      85 ml/⅓ cup sour/soured cream

      BUTTERCREAM

      200 g/2 sticks minus 2 tablespoons butter

      400 g/3½ cups icing/confectioners’ sugar

      ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste

      6–10 teaspoons full-fat/whole milk

      2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

      muffin pan lined with 12 muffin cases

      piping/pastry bag fitted with a large star nozzle/tip

      MAKES 12

      Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) Gas 4.

      To make the rocky road, place the butter, chocolate and syrup in a saucepan. Heat gently until melted. Set aside to cool slightly. Place the biscuit/cracker crumbs, marshmallows, cherries and almonds in a large bowl, and pour over the chocolate mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon, then pour into the prepared pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, until set.

      To make the chocolate cake mixture, place the egg and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or use an electric whisk and large mixing bowl), and beat the mixture at medium to high speed for 1–2 minutes, until light and fluffy.

      If using a stand mixer, switch to the paddle attachment. Combine the oil and milk, then slowly add to the egg mixture, and mix just until combined. Sift the cocoa powder and flour into a separate bowl, and add to the batter, a little at a time, beating until incorporated. Scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula, and briefly beat at high speed until the mixture is smooth. Do not over-mix. Add the marshmallows and cherries, and fold in, using the rubber spatula.

      For the vanilla cake, place the butter and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use an electric whisk and large mixing bowl), and beat for 30 seconds, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla bean paste, and mix at low speed until combined. Sift the flour and baking powder into a separate bowl, and add to the batter, a little at a time, beating at low speed until incorporated. Add the sour/soured cream and mix until smooth. Do not over-mix.

      Divide the vanilla batter evenly between the muffin cases. Do the same with the chocolate batter, placing it on top of the vanilla mixture already in the cases. Using the tip of a knife, swirl the two batters together to blend them slightly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–23 minutes, until well risen and a skewer inserted into the cakes comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

      For the buttercream, place the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use an electric whisk and large mixing bowl), and beat until soft and fluffy. Divide the butter evenly between two bowls. Sift half the icing/confectioners’ sugar into one bowl, and slowly mix until combined. Add the vanilla bean paste and enough of the milk to achieve a consistency suitable for piping. Sift the rest of the icing/confectioners’ sugar into the other bowl along with the cocoa powder, and slowly mix until combined. Add enough of the milk to achieve a consistency suitable for piping.

      Spoon the vanilla buttercream down one side of the piping/pastry bag and spoon the chocolate buttercream down the other side. This will create a marbled effect when piped.

      Turn the rocky road out onto a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, slice it into at least 24 small pieces.

      Pipe the buttercream onto each cake in a swirl. Some cakes will have more chocolate buttercream and others will have more vanilla, which makes each cupcake individual. Top each cupcake with a couple of pieces of rocky road.

      red velvet cupcake

      160 g/¾ cup caster/granulated sugar

      1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

      ½ teaspoon red food colouring paste

      1 egg

      3 tablespoons sunflower oil

      ¾ tablespoon white wine vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice

      35 g/1¼ oz. dark/bittersweet chocolate, melted

      190 g/1⅓ cups plain/all-purpose flour

      ½ teaspoon baking powder

      ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda/baking soda

      ¾ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

      70 ml/scant ⅓ cup single/light cream

      70 ml/scant ⅓ cup full-fat/whole milk

      35 g/¼ cup ground almonds

      CREAM CHEESE ICING

      60 g/½ stick butter

      1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

      200 g/1¾ cups icing/confectioners’ sugar

      400 g/14 oz. full-fat cream cheese

      TO DECORATE

      red velvet cake crumbs (blitz an un-iced cupcake in a food processor and allow to dry out before storing in an airtight container)

      muffin pan lined with 12 muffin cases

      piping/pastry bag fitted with a large star nozzle/tip

      MAKES 12

      Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) Gas 4.

      Place the butter, sugar and vanilla bean paste into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use an electric whisk and large mixing bowl), and beat the mixture at medium to high speed for 1–2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Occasionally stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure that all the butter and sugar is incorporated.

      Add the food colouring paste and the egg, and beat slowly until combined. Beat in the oil and vinegar or lemon juice, followed by the melted chocolate.

      Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda/baking soda and unsweetened cocoa powder together into a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the batter, a little at a time, alternating with the cream and milk until you have a soft batter and all the dry ingredients have been incorporated. Finally add the ground almonds and mix until smooth and a uniform colour. Scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula, and briefly beat at high speed until the mixture is smooth. Do not over-mix.

      Using an ice cream scoop, divide the mixture between the muffin cases, filling to almost two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until risen and a skewer inserted into the cakes comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

      To make the cream cheese icing, place the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use an electric whisk and large mixing bowl), and beat until smooth and soft. Add the vanilla bean paste and sift in the icing/confectioners’ sugar. Add the cream cheese and beat at medium to high speed for about 30 seconds, until smooth and glossy. Do not over-mix.

      Spoon the icing into the piping/pastry bag, and pipe a swirl onto each cake. Alternatively, spread the cream cheese icing onto each cupcake using a palette knife or metal spatula. Sprinkle some red velvet cake crumbs onto each cupcake to decorate.
