They were delish. Personally the batter was my favourite part. Obviously I'm a child and ate half of the batter it was so good. The cupcakes were so moist and fluffy they were amazing . I definitely recommend this recipe!😋

Very nice

Katina

I was put onto these by a friend and it's been a game changer. How easy to whip up a batch on a Sunday for school lunches. Or eat them warm with ice-cream. They're an absolute favorite. I make double or triple mixture and make a cake with it for a dessert. Centre comes out doughy like brownies.

Best chocolate cupcake recipe ever. Super moist!

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.
