Spooky Chocolate & Orange Cupcakes.

Appliances Online have a great new blog competition running . They have given a list of ingredients to use & you can adapt them in any way you like.

Here’s the list they gave us:-

Dry ingredients required

• 65g caster sugar
• 60g Light soft brown sugar
• 125g self raising flour)
• 25g Chocolate chips

You’ll also need to add wet ingredients to your cake jars (you will all be needing these):

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 2 medium eggs
• 125g butter or margarine, softened at room temperature
• 2 tbsp milk, to loosen

This mixture will make enough to fill 12 cupcake cases, or a 9inch cake tin.

Then:

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

Grease and line 2 x 18cm/7in cake tins with baking paper

OR prepare 12 cupcake cases

Baking Instructions

Empty the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl

Add the butter and the eggs and mix well

Add the milk and vanilla extract (optional) and mix

Spoon mixture into cake tin/Cupcake cases

Bake for 20/25 mins (Cake tin) 15 mins (cupcakes) or until golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean

Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

And simply decorate!

I melted some of the left over chocolate chips & put that on half the cakes & decorated then with some of the orange chocolate buttons cut in half & the others I melted the remaining orange chocolate buttons & then decorated them with chocolate chips.

The combination of the 2 flavours is amazing.
