Toblerone Cupcakes



Most of the living and breathing world loves Toblerone, I´m one of those people, my favourite: the white chocolate, but those of you who come to this blog often, know that by now ;-)

 A la mayoría de los vivos con respiración de este mundo les encanta el Toblerone, soy una de esas personas, mi favorito: el chocolate blanco, pero aquellos de ustedes que visitan este blog a menudo, ya lo saben a estas alturas;-)



 I made sure these tasted like #Toblerone, not only do they have Toblerone on the top and does the frosting include melted chocolate, I popped a little Toblerone in the batter of each one too :-)

 Me aseguré de que éstos supiesen como los #Toblerone, no sólo tienen Toblerone en la parte superior, así como el frosting incluyendo al chocolate derretido, yo puse un pequeñoToblerone en la masa de cada uno también:-)


I got these mini Toblerones as a gift (no I wasn´t sponsored by Toblerone but hey I´m totally open to it.. so here´s a shout out to them..lol) and just knew I had to make something with them.. Cupcakes were the first thing that came to mind.. (it could be that I sometimes suffer of "creativity block") perhaps if I thought a little longer I could have made something more spectacular.. but hey these little cupcakes are just that.. they don´t need to stand back for no other rival.. 

Conseguí estos mini Toblerones como un regalo (no fuí patrocinada por Toblerone pero bueno estoy totalmente abierta a ello.. jaja) y supe que tenía que hacer algo con ellos .. Cupcakes fue lo primero que me vino a la cabeza.. (podría ser que a veces sufro de "creatividad bloqueada") tal vez si hubiese pensado un poco más de tiempo, podría haber hecho algo más espectacular .. pero bueno estos pequeños cupcakes son sólo eso .. ellos no necesitan dar un paso atrás frente a ningún otro rival ..

INGREDIENTS:

for the Cupcakes:
(makes 15 cupcakes)
  • 200g white sugar
  • ½ cup sunflower oil
  • 4 L eggs
  • 1&½ teaspoon of vanilla essence
  • 120g flour
  • 80g pure cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of grounded cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons full cream milk
  • 15 mini Toblerones.
for the Frosting:

  • ⅓ cup melted & cooled Toblerone/or dark chocolate or a mixture of the two (just depends how much you like Toblerones..)
  • 250g butter without salt at room temperature
  • 250g icing sugar (sifted) (you can add more at the end if you´d  like your frosting sweeter)
  • ¼ cup pure cocoa powder (sifted)
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 heaped tablespoons full cream cheese (cold)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
METHOD:
for the Cupcakes:

Pre-heat your oven to 175ºC / 350ªF. Prepare your cupcake trays with your liners. Sift all your dry ingredients together and leave to the side. Meanwhile blend your sugar and oil together for a few minutes, add the eggs 1 x 1 then the vanilla essence. Add your dry ingredients slowly, lastly add your milk. and blend for 30 seconds until well combined (never overmix your cupcake/cake batter). Scoop your batter with an ice cream scoop (1 coop per liner) and place a mini Toblerone in the middle, pressing it down to make sure its covered by the batter. Bake for 20 - 22 minutes. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then remove them from the cupcake tray/s and let them cool completely on a rack.
for the Frosting:

Beat your butter until light and fluffy. Add the rest of your ingredients and blend on high until creamy and well blended (about 3-5 minutes.  Lastly add your cream cheese 1 tablespoon at a time and mix in slowly, when mixed in, increase the speed until high and blend for a further 15 seconds.. if you overblend at this stage your frosting might curdle.
Frost your cupcakes the way you like and top with another mini Toblerone. I also used chocolate vermicilli to decorate the sides.
