Serves
12
125 g butter, chopped, at room temperature
2/3 cup Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar
2 eggs
2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
1/2 cup sour cream (see notes)
1/2 cup strong black coffee, cooled
Coffee icing
1 cup Chelsea Icing Sugar, sifted
10 g butter
2 tbsp hot, strong black coffee
12 pecans, to decorate
Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper patty cases.
In a large bowl, using an electric beater, cream butter and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in flour alternately with sour cream and coffee, beginning and ending with flour. Spoon mixture into paper cases until 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked when tested. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
COFFEE ICING: Combine Chelsea Icing Sugar and butter in a small heatproof bowl. Stir in enough coffee to make a smooth paste. Place over a saucepan of simmering water and heat gently, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until mixture is a spreadable consistency. Spread over cooled cakes. Top with pecans.
They turned out soft and light nice consistency,,not very coffee flavoured ,icing failed ,was runny as had to add another cup of icing sugar ,which took away bit of the coffee flavour but on a whole were quite nice ,can’t see how they can turn out rubbery ,must have done something wrong ,definitely were not that or dense ,
Made these awesome cupcakes! Turned out Delicious. Added chocolate and walnuts on top of the icing ☺️
Made these using high grade flour and baking powder instead of self raising flour, beat the mixture rather than folding and they have turned out light and rose just perfectly. Taste great with the coffee icing and a walnut on top
the batter ended up being rubbery and the "cupcakes" where dry and dense inside - not a nice recipe at all
Made these for the first time tonight.. the "batter" is rubbery and when baked. They dont really rise.. and become extremely dense.. not sure what's going on with this recipe
