Hey everyone, I hope your day has been well.

I’m posting a little late in the day but I felt like making something slightly indulgent but not too sweet and I decided on chocolate marble cupcakes. I love the combination of vanilla and chocolate together. These cupcakes are light, moist and they taste amazing. I even added a little chocolate icing on a few. Cupcakes are such a simple thing to bake and enjoyable for everyone.

Recipe: Chocolate Marble Cupcakes (makes 12)

Ingredients

125g butter

125g caster sugar

2 eggs

125g self raising flour

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp cocoa powder

Method

• Preheat the oven to gar mark 5 and place 12 cupcake cakes on a tray.
• Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until smooth.
• Add the eggs one at a time mixing until well combined. Then sieve in the flour and mix.
• Split the mixture, pouring 1/3 into a smaller bowl and mix in the cocoa powder.
• To the larger bowl add the vanilla extract and mix well. Use a tablespoon to divide this mixture evenly between the cases.
• Use a teaspoon to add the chocolate mixture to the centre of the cupcakes and use a cocktail stick too gently mix both mixtures. Do this until both mixture are used up.
• Put the tray in the oven for 25 minutes until cooked right through.
• Leave to cool before eating (or adding any toppings)
