Really yummy, I substituted milk for yoghurt and added a teaspoon of instant coffee to the boiling water. So yummy they almost don't need icing!

My go-to choc cupcake recipe. I then use Yvettes chocolate buttercream icing which is on this website. Always add the baking soda I've forgotten a few times and really is the make or break. pouring the mixture into measuring glass works perfectly! yum yum yum

I made these using gluten free baking mix instead of plain flour and they turned out delicious and so moist, they were a huge hit in my household and I will certainly be making them again :)

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C conventional or 160ºC fan-forced. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl, then add the sugars and stir in. Add the egg, Meadow Fresh Milk, Olivani Pure Olive Oil and vanilla then beat with a mixer until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl then add the boiling water and mix until just combined (the batter will be runny).
Pour the batter into a measuring cup or jug (it’s easier and cleaner than using a spoon) and pour evenly into each paper case until ¾ filled (don’t over fill or the mixture will overflow).
Place in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Berry Icing
Mix icing sugar with hot water. Add Tararua Butter and beat until light and fluffy. Pipe or spread onto muffins.
