Instructions
- Prepare the baking equipment by heating the oven to 180C (160C fan) and arranging paper liners in a standard muffin tin.
- Combine all cupcake ingredients in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly until the batter achieves a silky, consistent texture without lumps.
- Carefully distribute the batter evenly among the prepared paper cases, filling each approximately three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove cupcakes from the oven and transfer to a wire rack, allowing them to cool completely to room temperature.
- While cupcakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream by blending ingredients in an electric mixer, whipping until the mixture becomes light, airy, and forms soft peaks.
- Once cupcakes have cooled, use a piping bag or spatula to generously apply the buttercream, creating decorative swirls or smooth coverage across the surface.
- Add final decorative touches like chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or additional chocolate chips if desired, enhancing the visual appeal and flavor profile.
Notes
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for more intense flavor and better melting.
- For gluten-free option, swap regular flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend.
- Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting to prevent buttercream from melting.
