Following on from my last post I’ve got a great recipe for cupcakes for those you who either don’t live in Sydney, don’t want to fork out the $3.50 or are simply too lazy to journey into the city in search of killer cupcakes. Cupcakes are great to experiment with, depending on what’s hiding in the back of your cupboard. If you want to pretend you’re being healthy, add some dried fruit. Fixated on nuts? Throw in some hazelnuts or whatever you fancy. Add cheese, anchovies and olives if you’re a freak.
Ingredients:
chocolate chip melts (as much as desired)
2 cups plain white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup water
2 cups miniature marshmallows
Method:
Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Cream butter and sugar in a separate bowl until they form good old soft peaks. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Add the vanilla extract, flour mixture and water. Beat at a low speed until everything in the bowl is blended. Stir in marshmallows and the choc chips, chop into smaller pieces first if necessary. Fill paper-lined cupcake pans half full; bake at 180 degrees Celsius for approximately 20 minutes. Poke a fork in and if it comes out clean they’re ready!
Decorate as you choose! Use the cupcake images from my last post as inspiration.
Ideas: sprinkles, smarties, liquorice all sorts, icing sugar dusted into patterns…You can create a flower by fashioning flower petals from marshmallos and arranging them around a smartie centre.
Remember, there are infinite variations of the classic cupcake.
