Chocolate Baileys Cupcakes
When the ladies from my Hairdressers requested Baileys Cupcakes I was more than happy to oblige! This was one of my range of festive flavours when I used to run my own cupcake business. The recipe is basically my standard chocolate cupcake with a couple of glugs of Baileys added to both the sponge and the frosting.
Ingredients (to make 12 cupcakes):
- 85g self raising flour
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 110g caster sugar
- 110g Stork margarine
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 tbsp Baileys
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan assisted). Combine all of the ingredients in a freestanding mixer. Once combined, spoon the cake batter into cake cases in a muffin tray. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
For the frosting, combine 50g unsalted butter, 100g full fat cream cheese, 4 tbsp cocoa powder, 300g icing sugar and a couple of big glugs of Baileys! Mix in a freestanding mixer, until smooth. Pipe onto the cupcakes and top with a Baileys truffle or festive sprinkles!
