Chocolate cream cupcakes

Hello everyone,

Today I'm going to share with you a delicious recipe for chocolate cream cupcakes......a delicious fluffy sponge, filled with vanilla custard and topped with melted chocolate! 

 

Amazing right? So let's go over the ingredients!

For the cupcakes

8oz butter

8oz sugar

8oz self raising flour 

4eggs 

1/4 cup milk 

For the custard 

1 egg

2 egg yolks 

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup cornflour

2tbsp butter

2tsp vanilla 

Topping

150g dark chocolate 

Method

To make the cupcakes, preheat your oven to gas mark 4 and then cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy, add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well in between each addition ( add a tsp of the flour with each egg to stop the mix curdling ), gently fold in your flour and add you milk!  Place into a prepared muffin tin and bake in a preheated oven for aprox 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean! 

For the custard, place egg, egg yolks, 2tbsp of your sugar and your cornflour into a large bowl and mix well! Meanwhile heat your milk and remaining sugar in a saucepan...once it reaches a boil, slowly pour your milk mixture into your egg mixture stirring the whole time! Place all the mixture back into the saucepan and heat through and keep mixing (very important) until the mixture thickens, take it off the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla! Wrap with cling film and place in the fridge to cool competely!  

Once the cupcakes are cool, slice them directly in half, spoon some of the cooled custard into the centre and sandwhich the cupcake back together! Melt your chocolate in a double boiler or microwave and spoon some over each cupcake and your done! 

Hope you all enjoyed this recipe 

Happy baking!
