SERVING SIZE:

2 – 4 people

INGREDIENTS:

  • 150gm Plain Flour
  • 10gm Cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp. Bi Carb Soda
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • 60gm Lurpak unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 150gm Caster Sugar
  • 20 ml red food colouring paste
  • ½ tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1 egg
  • 120ml Buttermilk
  • 1 ½ tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

  • 300gm Icing Sugar, sifted
  • 60gm Lurpak unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 125gm Philadelphia Cream cheese, cubed and softened
  • ½ tsp Apple cider vinegar

 

METHOD:

  • Preheat oven to 170C/ 150C fan forced. Line a muffin tray with paper muffin cases.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift in flour, cocoa and bicarb soda, add salt and mix to combine.
  • In a stand mixer, add butter and sugar and beat using a paddle attachment until mixture is soft and pale. Slowly add food colouring and vanilla.
  • Still beating, add a small amount of the dried ingredients and the egg, beat until egg has combined before adding the remaining dry ingredients.
  • Add in the buttermilk and vinegar and gently beat until well combined.
  • Divide mixture into patty cases and place on the middle rack of the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes. A skewer in the middle of the cake should come out clean. Leave to cool on a wire rack and ice with frosting when cakes have cooled completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the cream cheese frosting. Add icing sugar to a mixing bowl and break up any lumps. Add softened butter and cream cheese and beat on a medium speed until well combined. Pour in vinegar and beat until light and fluffy. Pipe or slather mixture onto cooled cupcakes.
