CUPCAKES

Ingredients:


for decoration & filling:


  • mini marshmallows
  • chopped white chocolate


for the cupcakes:


  • 200g flour
  • 200g white sugar
  • 200g sunflower oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 L eggs at room temperature


for the frosting:


  • 250g unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 200g sifted icing sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 120g melted white chocolate (cooled to room temperature)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla essence


Method:


Pre-line your cupcake tray with your liners and pre-heat your oven to 175ºC. Sift your dry ingredients together for your cupcakes, while blending the oil & white sugar together until light & fluffy. Add your eggs 1 x 1 to your oil mixture, then your vanilla extract. Now slowly add your dry ingredients, don´t overmix. Scoop a tablespoon of batter in each liner and add some chopped white chocolate and a few mini marshmallows to the batter, now add another tablespoon of batter on top of that and bake for 18 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and pop a few more marshmallows on top, put the tray back into the over for a further 2 minutes or so until the marshmallows have browned. Let cool in the tray for about 5 minutes before removing and cool completely on a cooling rack.


While your cupcakes are cooling, chop 120g of white chocolate and melt in your microwave at 20 second intervals until melted. Cream your butter for approximately 5 minutes until light and fluffy, slowly add your sifted icing sugar & pinch of salt, blend another 5 minutes or so and then add the vanilla extract. Lastly add the melted chocolate (make sure it is not hot otherwise your frosting/buttercream will separate). Beat until all the ingredients are well blended.


To decorate:


Frost your toasted marshmallow cupcakes with the white chocolate frosting, top with as many mini marshmallows as you like and lastly add more white chocolate shavings!!!



When I made this I remembered I made a Marshmallow White Chocolate Pudding with the same flavour combo.. if you haven´t seen that recipe before, do yourself a favour and make it.. super easy and really delicious!!

Cuando los hice me acordé de que había hecho un pudín de chocolate blanco con nubes con la misma combinación de sabores .. si usted no ha visto esa receta antes, hágase un favor e inténtelo.. es muy fácil .. y realmente deliciosa!



I wish there were some of these left but unfortunately they were for Teagan (my sweet teenager daughter) school´s bbq :-) Perhaps it´s better she took them because oh my goodness greatness.. that´s it.. goodness greatness.. those 2 words says it all :-)

Me hubiera gustado que hubieran sobrado algunos, pero por desgracia eran para un asadero para Teagan (mi dulce hija adolescente) del instituto :-) Tal vez sea mejor que los llevase, porque... ¡Guau! .. eso lo dice todo :-)


Remember I told you guys awhile ago about a project I´m busy with, well it is still in process and I hope to share it with y´all very soon! Have a great week!!
