Dark and White Chocolate Chip Cupcake Recipe

Hey everyone! This weekend one of my close friends came round and we decided to do some Christmas baking, After spending forever on Pinterest I thought we could just make some cupcakes that I knew were good and then decorate them all christmassy ish XD Obviously everything had to go wrong haha! First one of my eggs was off so it spoiled the other one and I had to borrow 2 eggs from the neighbours, I didn't have a muffin tin, so it was too shallow and the cupcakes spread open. Then when I was taking the cupcakes out of the oven I squished 2 with the oven gloves :') Then my electric mixer broke.. and then when I was trying to pipe the bag split so we did it with a knife :') They still turned out really tasty in the end though XD

Ingredients: Makes 12

For the Cupcakes:

125g butter, softened

100g caster sugar

2 eggs, lightly beaten

125g self raising flour

2tbsp cocoa powder

100g white chocolate chips

2tbsp milk

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

For the Icing:

225g icing sugar

3tbsp cocoa powder

25g butter, melted

4-5tbsp milk

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C/Gas Mark 4 and line a muffin tin with cupcake cases.
2. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy then gradually whisk in the eggs. 
3. Sift the flour and cocoa together and fold into the butter mixture with white chocolate chips, milk and vanilla essence.
4. Spoon the mixture evenly into the cases and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cakes are firm to the touch.
5. Leave to cool completely before icing.
6. For the icing: sift the icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl, stir in the butter and enough milk to make a creamy consistency.
7. Ice and decorate and then enjoy! :)
