Ingredients
Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 1/2 cup self-raising flour or alternative, 75 g
- 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder, 15 g
- 75 g butter , room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar , 85 g firmly packed
- 2 eggs, 59 g each
- 4 scoops AdVital Powder, 100 g
- 2 tsp vanilla essence or extract
- 40 g chocolate chips
- 60 mL oil
- 60 mL water
Icing (30g Per Cupcake)
- 2/3 cup icing sugar, 80 g
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 10 g
- 100 g butter , room temperature
- 2 scoop AdVital Powder, 50 g
- 2 tbsp milk, 40 mL
Instructions
Directions
Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (conventional) or 160°C (fan-forced). Place eight paper patty cases in a 78mL-capacity muffin tin or on a baking tray.
- Sift the flour and cocoa. In a separate bowl, whisk the AdVital Powder, water and oil until the mixture is smooth.
- Beat the butter and sugar until the resulting mixture is pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding a little flour mix after each one. Mix in the remainder of the flour with the AdVital Powder mixture. Fold in the vanilla and chocolate chips.
- Divide the mixture between the cupcake cases and bake for 20–25 minutes (or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean). Leave the cupcakes to cool before icing.
Icing
- Whisk the AdVital Powder and milk together until the resulting mixture is thick and smooth.
- Beat in the butter, sifted icing sugar, and cocoa. Mix them together with a spoon, and add a little milk until the icing is smooth but still firm enough to hold its shape.
- When the cupcakes have cooled down, place the icing into a piping bag and decorate the cupcakes.
Notes
Hints and Tips:
- Add a half-cup of fresh or frozen berries to the mix before baking.
- Serve with whipped cream (see our Scones with Jam and Cream recipe).
