How to make a chocolate cupcake even better? Stick a whole piece of Toblerone in the middle of course! I definitely underrate Toblerone as a chocolate bar, that is until I try it again and remember how insanely delicious it is! After seeing a bar on offer and not wanting to demolish the whole thing in one sitting, I decided cupcakes would be the best option! And I have zero regrets! These cupcakes are incredibly moreish, so be warned and enjoy…
Ingredients…
150g butter
150g caster sugar
120g self raising flour
30g cocoa
3 eggs
3 tbsp milk
10-12 pieces toblerone
Buttercream-
200g butter
100g milk chocolate, melted
450g icing sugar
+ extra Toblerone for decorating
Method…
1. Preheat your oven to 160fan/180
2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
3. Beat in the eggs with a spoonful of the flour to prevent curdling
4. Fold through the remaining flour, cocoa and then the milk
5. Once all mixed together, spoon into your cupcake cases and press a piece of toblerone into the centre of each one
6. Pop into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes
7. As the cupcakes cool start on your buttercream. Once the chocolate is melted and chilled a little, beat it together with the butter and then gradually beat in the icing sugar until light and fluffy.
8. Pipe the design of choice on to each cupcake and if you have Toblerone left use to decorate and then, enjoy…
