Ingredients
CAKES:
340g plain flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 eggs
300 g caster
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbs vegetable oil
160g unsalted butter
250g milk
½ cup 100s & 1000s
150 g Koko Black Caramel Chocolate Sprinkles
BUTTERCREAM:
250g butter, softened to room temp
200g Koko Black White Chocolate Dotties
1tsp vanilla
1/2tsp salt
190g icing sugar
Method
Preheat the oven to 180’C. Line 18 holes of 2 x 12 muffin pans (80ml) with cupcake cases.
In a saucepan melt butter, once melted take off the heat and allow to cool slightly. Meanwhile in a large bowl mix plain flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk to combine. In a separate bowl add butter, milk, eggs, vanilla, and oil. Whisk until combined.
Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and slowly pour in wet ingredients and add 100s & 1000s, whisking slowly until just combined. (it's important to not over whisk, you will overwork the mix and create a tougher cupcake).
Divide the mix between the 18 cupcake cases (be careful not to overfill the cases, aim about ½ cm under the top). Place in a preheated oven and bake for 22 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Allow to cool completely to room temp before icing.
To make the icing, place the Koko Black White Chocolate Dotties in a double boiler on the stove and gently melt. Once melted remove from the heat and allow to cool back to room temperature.
Meanwhile, in a stand-up mixer, add butter and whisk until light and fluffy (2-3 min, stop and scrape down the sides 1-2 times). Add icing sugar, vanilla and salt, whisk for another 1-2 minutes until well combined. Gently pour melted white chocolate and whisk until well combined. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 1 cm fluted nozzle.
Pipe buttercream swirls on top of each cupcake and top with a Koko Black Caramel Chocolate Speckle.
Will keep in the fridge for 5 days.
