Easy Chocolate Cupcakes
- ¾ plain flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons margarine (I used spreadable butter as that was all we had which worked fine)
- ½ teaspoon bicarb soda
- ½ cup sour cream (I used light as that was all we had which worked fine)
- 125 gms plain chocolate
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 150 mls cup sour cream (I used light as that was all we had which worked fine)
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- We used large muffin trays, lined with patty pans and the recipe made 12.
- In a large bowl, add all margarine, sugar, eggs, flour, bicarb soda and cocoa powder.
- Use an electric mixer and mix for about 1-2 minutes or until mixture is just smooth.
- Using a metal spoon, fold in the sour cream.
- Spoon cake mixture into patty pans.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until well risen and firm to touch.
- When you remove the cake from oven, let it cool in the pan for about five minutes or so.
- Turn the cup cakes out on to a cooling rack.
- Break the chocolate into pieces and place in heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water and heat until melted, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly, then whisk in the sugar and sour cream until combined.
- Spread the frosting over the tops of the cup cakes and leave to set in the fridge before serving.
