Moist chocolate hand made cupcakes with chocolate icing and vanilla sugar sprinkles

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fine cocoa truffle dusting powder
  • 1 3/4 cups of fine white cake flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk or half half cream
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup margins or butter
  • 2tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp instant coffee
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 crushed and seeded vanilla bean
  • 1-2 containers of Duncan Hines Chocolate frosting
  • Duffs vanilla sugar
  • White chocolate flakes

Directions

  1. Cream together butter, sugar, eggs and spices. Combine until smooth
  2. Add flour
  3. Add milk
  4. Mix until consistent
  5. Then add baking soda, whip and pour into cupcake holders - this gives you the super fluffy cupcakes because you are only beating the soda for a short time so it rises.
  6. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes (if mini cupcakes) and 9-11min if big cupcakes
  7. Flip cupcakes out and let cool
  8. In a separate bowl combine coffee powder and Duncan Hines chocolate frosting
  9. Decorate with sugar and chocolate
