Chocolate Cupcake Recipe

Posted by Roberts Edible Craft on 12th Oct 2020

Everyday can be a celebration with our Party Cupcake kits. For that small gathering or midweek celebration with family, our Party Cupcake kits come with everything you need to celebrate in style.

We knew that the majority of parties are held on a weekend, with lots of family and friends. But its often not the actual date of say your birthday. So what about the mid week party, the one you often have with just immediate family on the actual day of your birthday, engagement or great news! We designed them with this idea in mind...

What you will need:

For the Cupcake:

  • Roberts Edible Craft - Party Cupcake Kit Chocolate or 380g of our Chocolate Mud Cake Mix
  • 2 Large Eggs (600g Packet)
  • 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 Cup Water

For the Icing

  • 80g Unsalted Butter, softened (but not melted)
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk

Equipment

  • One standard 12 hole cupcake pan.

Step 1.

Get Ready and pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius, fan forced setting. Place the 12 included mauve cupcake cases into the pan.

Step 2.

Place the dry cake mix, eggs, oil and water into a medium sized bowl. Using a large spoon or spatula, mix until smooth.

Step 3

Divide the batter evenly between your cupcake papers. (using a medium sized ice cream scoop to measure helps achieve even sized cupcakes)
Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove cupcakes from the oven, and cool in the tins for 10 minutes, before turning onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 4

Place the dry icing mix, softened butter and milk into a deep mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix on the lowest speed until combined. Scrape down the sides and base of the bowl. Mix on high speed for 3 minutes until icing is light and fluffy.

Step 5 - Lets Decorate!

Spoon icing into a piping bag

We used a open round piping nozzle which you can find in our NS01 2A 1.2 cm Open Round Piping Nozzle Set.

Pour the sprinkles into a small bowl.

Pipe a donut shape on top of each cupcake, carefully dipping each one into the sprinkle mix as you go. The sprinkles will "hide" any imperfections in the piping, so this is a great one for beginners.  

If you don't have a piping nozzle, instead spread the icing onto each cupcake with a butter knife
